At the resumed hearing, defence counsel, Wole Olanipekun  notified the court of an additional prove of evidence filed by the prosecution counsel, Rotimi Jacobs which was served him in court.

Olanipekun also  argued that apart from needing time to study it,   the documents were not formally presented before the court.

He  said the document ought to come through a formal application. He therefore sought for an adjournment.

But the prosecutor objected saying the documents were clear enough.

After hearing from the counsels, Justice James Tsoho adjourned hearing to April the twenty eighth.

Earlier, the attention of the court was drawn to the transfer of the case to another court but Justice Tsoho held that the file transfer was made in error.

Having taken a fresh  plea, the judge directed the trial should commence.

TVC E, POLITICS – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,  has re-arraigned Raymond Dokpesi before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.

Dokpesi who was initially docked before the court on December the 9th, last year, is facing a six-count criminal charge.

EFCC has now joined Dokpesi’s DAAR Investment and Holdings Ltd, owners of African Independent Television and Raypower FM, as 2nd defendant in the suit.

Justice Gabriel Kolawole originally fixed the matter for trial on Wednesday, but at the resumed sitting, the EFCC took Dokpesi before another Judge for re-arraignment.

No reasons were given for the retrieval of the case-file from Justice Kolawole, but Dokpesi entered a fresh plea before Justice John Tsoho of the same court, who subsequently adjourned the case till March the 2nd for trial.

The court allowed the accused person to go home on the same bail conditions that were handed to him by Justice Kolawole.
