Court Adjourns Emefiele’s Trial As EFCC Files Additional Evidence

The trial of a former Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, was stalled on Friday after his lawyers sought an adjournment following the service of additional proof of evidence served on them in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .The trial judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi, granted the adjournment after he agreed with the defence team that the reasons given for the adjournment had merit.

The second prosecution witness commenced his testimony on April 29 and Justice Oshodi adjourned the continuation of the trial to May 9, 2024, for a continuation of his testimony under cross-examination. Ojo said, “the defence may find anything useful in the additional proof of evidence to cross-examine the witness in the box so I humbly urge the court to adjourn this matter so that I can thoroughly go through it and study it”.

Oyedepo argued that the statements of Adetola which were served on the prosecution were those of the 5th prosecution witness listed in the proof of evidence which was contained in volume two of what was served on the defence since April 4. “If defence is angry that I served them the proof of evidence today, we can withdraw it and serve same later day.
