A Lagos division of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi has admitted the extrajudicial statement of a former aide to former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, in the money laundering case against him.According to the trial judge, Mojisola Olatoregun, admitting the statement of Justin Erukaa, who is now late, as evidence does not in any way represent the importance or weight the court ascribes to the evidence.
Earlier in the proceedings, Ahmed Tarfa, holding the brief for Olalekan Ojo tried to get the court to adjourn the matter pending when the counsel to the second defendant, Mr Ojo, would be able to appear before the court to continue the cross-examination of prosecution witness number 5, Musiliu Obanikoro.
Thirty minutes into the matter, however, the Judge, Mrs Olatoregun, requested to see all counsel in her chamber. The matter was subsequently adjourned to Tuesday for cross-examination of the witness.
