“My lord, we have contacted both defendants about the development, and the defence counsel, Mike Ozekhome SAN also informed us that he has a matter at the Appeal Court on the same date.
“We really apologize for the development. Subject to the convenience of your lordship, we apply for adjournment,” he said.
Justice Dabup consequently adjourned the matter till 18, 19 and 20 May, 2021 for continuation of trial.
