OLUFEMI FATUNDE of the Federal Ministry of Justice is to continue from where CHARLES ADEOSUN-PHILIPS stopped before he decided to hands-off the matter, although the spokesman for the Attorney General of the Federation, SALIHU OTHMAN ISAH, said he was sacked.
Reports say the female lawyer announced her appearance as the new Head of the? Prosecution team at the resumed hearing of the case in Abuja.
She immediately made an oral application for an adjournment of the case to enable her study the file and also interview the witnesses.
The defence lawyers led by KANU AGABI, who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, did not oppose the application, following which the trial judge, Justice JOHN TSOHO adjourned the case to March 16 and 17 for continuation of trial.
You will recall that Justice SYLVESTER NGWUTA was slammed with a fifteen-count charge of corruption, to which he pleaded not guilty in November last year and was granted bail.
Justice NGWUTA was arrested along with seven other senior judges in a nationwide sting operation carried out by the Department of State Services in October last year.
