The trial of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele has been adjourned to June 24 by FCT High Court in Maitama.
Gatekeepers News reports that when the case was called on Thursday, neither the prosecution counsel nor the defendant were in court.
However, Emefiele was represented by one of his counsels.
I.D Ahmed, who represented the defendant, told the court that the prosecution served him a letter praying for an adjournment.
He also apologised to the court for the absence of his client.
Hamza Muazu, presiding judge, said: “Because you have a letter of adjournment from the prosecution does not mean the defendant should not be in court.”
Muazu then adjourned until June 24 and June 25 for continuation of trial.
