Adeyemi Ikuforiji, the former speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly, was on trial for money laundering, but the proceedings were postponed on Monday due to the absence of Federal High Court Judge Mohammed Liman.
The case, which was originally scheduled for a trial continuation on November 15, was rescheduled for November 20 since it was unable to progress at the most recent delayed date because the court did not convene.
The defence lawyer’s letter asking for the case to be postponed until a more opportune time meant that the court was not in session on Monday, which further prevented the case from moving further.
