He argued that they needed more time to conclude investigations on the proof of evidence in which they will rely on to prosecute the case.

A magistrate court sitting in Zuba, Abuja, has directed the Nigerian police to make available all the evidence to be used in the trial of Senator Elisha Abbo on 20 August 2019 for the commencement of the trial.

The presiding magistrate, Abdullahi Ilellah, gave the order on Monday at the resumed hearing of the case.

He said he would not entertain any application for adjournment, urging the prosecution to speed up the investigation and serve the defendant all necessary materials.

The prosecution counsel, James Idachaba, applied for an adjournment of the matter in order to comply with the provision of section 350 (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015.

He argued that they needed more time to conclude investigations on the proof of evidence in which they will rely on to prosecute the case.

He added that forensic analysis has to be conducted on the CCTV video evidence in line with evidence act. He said that they are being careful not to run foul of the law.

In his own submission the defence counsel, Adegbite Adeniyi noted that they were entitled to see the material evidence before the trial, adding that it will enable them to prepare for their defence.

The matter was adjourned until 20 August to begin the trial.

Abbo was arraigned on July 8 on a two-count charge which bordered on assault of a nursing woman at a intimacy gadget shop in Abuja.

The offence which is punishable under section 263 and 264 of penal code law.

This why Nigeria judiciary system is not growing, the man acknowledge he is the one in the video and the video shows he assaulted the Lady.
assuming the case was reversed the judge will give immediate judgement.

That proud criminal.
The victim don't want to talk. All those that complained about his cruelty including the family that complained of him infecting their daughter with HIV and murder in addition to kidnap accusation by his wife's family on forced marriage are keeping quiet.

Case is closed

Let there be justice. The pressure is too much on this guy.

yes that is why is the law... Locus classicus must be established...

My nephew was killed in broad daylight, stabbed repeatedly after been hounded down like a dog.. There was CCTV footage and witnesses, case went to trial yet no murder case was established only involuntary manslaughter because the killer's lawyers took advantage of the law of provocation as CCTV showed my nephew pushed him before he fled for his life...

This happened in the UK not Nigeria barely 2years ago.. New splash that guy will be out next year ending a free man.. Until perhaps divine justice might locate him..
