Justice Mohammed Owolabi of an Oyo State High Court pronounced the accused guilty of dodging the payment for the 33,000 litres of fuel he supposedly bought from Dees Travels and Tours Limited.
The court granted him bail, and he was regularly attending his trial until after the matter was slated for judgement when he stopped appearing in court.The accused, it was learnt, failed to appear in the court on Thursday, prompting the judge to give the verdict even when the accused was still not present.
He, however, failed when it was time for him to pay as the Diamond Bank cheque he issued was not honoured on presentation due to insufficient balance in his account.The defendant lawyer, Oluwaseun Fadele, could not hide his disappointment as he told the court that he contacted his client before the first and second adjournments and that he promised to attend his trial.
