A missed flight by former National Planning Minister Prof Abubakar Suleiman on Monday stalled his trial and that of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria Mr Dele Belgore at the Federal High Court in Lagos
Oyetibo said it was not in Suleiman’s character to be away from court as he had always been present for his trial.Prosecuting counsel Rotimi Oyedepo confirmed that he was informed, but said that he would reluctantly concede to the adjournment requestDuring an earlier hearing, Belgore told the court that he never met or dealt with former Petroleum Resources Minister Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, who is also named in the charge but is said to be “at large”.
In the nine-count charge, EFCC said they “directly took possession of the sum N450million,” which they allegedly indirectly spent, adding that they “reasonably ought to have known [that the money] forms part of the proceeds of unlawful act.”
