The judge adjourned the case which were originally scheduled for hearing on Tuesday, to await the decision of the outgoing Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adamu Abdu-Kafarati following the letter written by the EFCC requesting the re-assignment of the cases to another judge of the court.The lawyers representing the plaintiff and five of the six respondents to the case were present at Tuesday’s proceedings.
After the lawyers announced their appearances in court on Tuesday, the plaintiff’s lawyer, Mr. Sunday Onubi, reminded the judge that Okorocha’s case was scheduled for a hearing.“ I am still awaiting the decision of the Chief Judge as regards the letter written by the 4th respondent .”The EFCC had in a letter sent to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, on May 21, 2019, accused Justice Taiwo of being biased against it.
The letter personally signed by the EFCC’s acting chairman, Mr Ibrahim Magu, was in protest against the ex parte orders made by Justice Taiwo on May 9 and 14, restraining the commission from continuing its investigations of certain corruption allegations against Saraki and Okorocha.
