Onyeka Ekweazor Esq: The case has been adjourned to today for defence
and we are ready. The defendant is in court and speaks
English language.
N.N. Anaka Esq: That is the true position. However, we are not ready
because we are making efforts towards a plea bargain
arrangement, and the arrangement is about 70% conclusion.
It is for this reason we are applying for an adjournment to
enable us complete the process or open defence.
Onyeka Ekweazor Esq: We are aware that the defendant want to plea
bargain as he had earlier applied for same. Though it appears
they are not serious, but in the interest of justice, we will
concede to this adjournment for the last time.
N.N. Anaka Esq: Subject to the convenience of this court, we have
agreed to the 4/3/2021 for plea bargain arrangement or
defence.
