Other defendants were brought to court except Dr Adedoyin.

The reason for his absence was not given.

Falana and other counsels met with the presiding judge, Osun State Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Ojo, in her chamber.

Falana, speaking with journalists, said, “We discovered that we have not filed our paper in terms of our written addresses; that is why we agreed to pick a date and we have agreed on October 10th 2022 because the court is going on vacation.”
