The planned arraignment of Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja and his wife, Olabowale has been put off owing to the inability of the prosecution to effect service of the charge on them.
They are accused of engaging in acts of corruption and abuse of office.
Lead prosecution lawyer, Segun Jegede told Justice Jude Okeke of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Maitama, Abuja that the court’s bailiff was unable to serve the defendants with the 11-count charge.
Following the permission of the Justice Okeke, defence Lawyer, Jeph Njikonye accepted copies of the charge for the two defendants.
Justice Okeke consequently adjourned to December 13 for arraignment.
