“EFCC Seeks Adjournment in Yahaya Bello Case, Court Sets Arraignment for November 14”

• Court fixes Nov 14, 20 for response to summons or arraignment

Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), who appeared for the EFCC at the FCT High Court, said at the hearing that at the last adjourned date, the court issued a Public Summons against the 1st defendant directing that same be published and that the charge be pasted.

Justice Maryann E. Anenih, however, interjected, stating that she did not ask that the charge be pasted, only the summons.

Oyedepo said he expected the 1st defendant to be in court on November 14, making reference to the 30-day duration of the summons, and therefore sought for adjournment till November 14 for arraignment of the three defendants.

JB Daudu (SAN), who appeared for the 2nd defendant, objected to this.

He said the matter was for arraignment, and that they were ready, noting that the defendants were all independent and should be so treated.
