The trial of the pioneer Chairman of DAAR Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi, which resumed yesterday, May 9, 2019 before Justice John Tsoho of a Federal High Court, Abuja, has been adjourned to July 2 and 3, 2019 due to the absence of the lead counsel, Kanu Agabi, SAN. Agabi sent in a letter to the court requesting for an adjournment.

His absence had earlier stalled the trial on February 20, 2019. Agabi had sent in a letter informing the court that he was bereaved, and prayed the court for an adjournment to April 21 to 24, 2019.

Counsel for the EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs, SAN had vehemently opposed Agabi’s proposed “two-month” adjournment, but the trial judge, considered it and fixed May 9, 2019 for the defence to open its case.

However, at the resumed sitting today, prosecuting counsel, Oluwaleke Atolagbe, informed the court that he received a letter from Agabi, asking for yet another adjournment.

Atolagbe said: “The defendants were meant to open their defence, but a letter was written asking for an adjournment from February 20, 2019 and again the defence counsel has written another letter asking for an adjournment to July 2 and 3, 2019.”

Atolagbe argued that the defence “has several eminent Senior Advocates of Nigeria representing him, Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Dayo Akinlaja (SAN) and many others who can take up the case”.

He further stressed that the prosecution reluctantly conceded to the earlier adjournment.

Dasuki is facing a six-count charge along with DAAR Investment and Holdings Limited, owners of African Independent Television and Raypower FM, for allegedly receiving N2.1 billion from the Office of the National Security Adviser, for services not rendered. He had on November 21, 2018 lost his "no-case" submission, with the trial judge ordering him to open his defence.

well he has his reasons but if e miss court again na to go arrest am shikena!!!!!!

Such ineptitude

The lawyer knows he has a bad case at hand.
Why playing hide and seek with unnecessary adjournment?
The court should go on with the trial.
High Chief should either get a new lawyer or defend himself.
Last last, our yam must be recovered.

Even ur shadow will leave you alone in darkness

RAYMOND DOKPESI STILL HAVE THE MIND TO WEAR A PAPA's CAP TO COURT WHILE HIS TRIAL IS ONGOING.

He and the likes of Deziani, Dasuki, Obanikoro, Fayose, Metuh etc never want Nigeria to survive with the rate they deep their dirty fingers into our national treasury.

THEY GROSSLY DEFIED, DISVIRGINED AND VIOLATED OUR NATIONAL TREASURY STEALING FROM ALL CORNERS OUR COLLECTIVE COMMONWEALTH.

Now it is payback time.

Nigeria legal system can frustrate even the Devil himself.

Is this how Dokpesi would go to prison and DAAR would be taken from him?

If na u nnko the case nor go tire you. When Dokpesi nor go fit give you 0.1 billion for your effort. Mitcheew.

Many people thought that Atiku will win the election. There were high hopes that if he wins,many of these hopeless cases will be discontinued with. His loss has stalled many corruption cases with several adjournments requests by defense lawyers. It won't surprise me when lawyers start dropping these hopeless cases very soon.

Maybe because he has dysentry ,thats why he is absent

G

The more he proved sturbon, the nearer he is to jail. Only fool will think he is innocent of case at hand. Election media campaign payment from security arms purchase money?

Imprison the gaffer, no time for lubbish

Enough delay of justice
