Mr Mohammed was scheduled to appear as a prosecution witness before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Mr Mohammed had admitted in April that he did not follow due diligence before signing off on the project.His defendant’s counsel, Akeem Mustapha, had also filed an application praying the court to allow the NBC boss to travel to Sharm El-Sheik in Egypt, venue of a conference scheduled for October 28 to November 22.
“They are taking us on a roller coaster ride and the plea for adjournment is another ploy to waste the precious time of the court,” he added. “We urge Your Lordship to foreclose them and allow the defence to open their defence,” Mr Etuwewe added.Mr Etuwewe reminded the court of the fact that on May 9, the prosecution called one witness, May 27 two witnesses, June 3 no witness, July 4 no witness and October 2 no witness.
Giving a short ruling, the judge, Folashade Ogunbanjo- Giwa said the court could not at the moment ascertain the records of adjournment taken by the prosecution counsel, and assured that she would check the court’s record.
