Alleged N5.2bn fraud: Court asks ex-JAMB registrar, Ojerinde to pay N100,000 for witnesses' transportation

N100,000 witness’ transportation expenses to the prosecution for stalling proceedings in his trial for alleged diversion of over N5.2billion public funds.

At the mention of the case, lead prosecuting lawyer, Ebenezer Shogunle said the case was set down for the commencement of trial, and that the prosecution had three witnesses in court.He said since the previous defence lawyer left, the defendant’s new legal team requires time to familiarise itself with the case.

Shogunle said one of the witnesses travelled at great risk from Ibadan the previous day. He noted that the last three adjournments have been at the instance of the defence. Although Awoyale initially objected to the prosecution’s request that his client pays the cost of bringing its witnesses to court, he later changed his mind upon the judge’s intervention.
