Court resumed today 8/12/2021
Appearances:
H.S. Buhari Esq. for prosecution.
V.E. Ekwuta Esq. holding the brief of S. Ovia Esq. for the defendant.
H.S. Buhari Esq: The defendant is before the court and speaks Hausa
language. The case has been adjourned to today for
continuation of hearing. So far 2 witnesses had
testified but we cannot go on because we exchanged
text messages with S. Ovia Esq. the substantive
counsel for the defendant that she is indisposed as she
is out of jurisdiction. She however said she will send
V.E. Ikwuta to take a date for her and we have agreed
to the 18/1/2022 for continuation of hearing subject
to the convenience of court.
V.E. Ikwuta Esq: That is the true position of things.
