At Thursday’s proceedings, the judge
observed that the defence counsel has been in the habit of advancing excuses
based on Agunloye’s health, and age as well as the filing of diverse motions which
have ensured that progress was not made in the trial.

Addressing the defence counsel,
Justice Onwuegbuzie stated that “My principle of justice is that of no delay. The other time you brought the issue of amicus curiae and wasted the time of the court. You should also know that in my court I don’t read processes. If you need time to serve processes, it must reach me on time and your colleague must also be duly aware in time. There must be mutual respect. Do not come and serve processes in court, I don’t take that in my court,” he said.

Prosecuting Counsel, Abba Mohammed, SAN, had at the beginning of proceedings informed the court that business of the day was the adoption of the prosecution’s application for the amendment of the charge which was filed on October 30, 2024, to which the defence curiously responded with a counter
-affidavit and a plea to the court to grant an adjournment to enable the prosecution study the affidavit.

Justice Onwuegbuzie adjourned the matter till November 28, 2024 for ruling on the adoption of the application.
