Justice Fola Ajayi of the Kogi State High Court sitting in
Lokoja, has ordered the prosecutor in the case of assassination
attempt on Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi West) to appear with the case
file at the next adjournment.
Ajayi Monday at the resumed hearing of the case brought against
the chairman of Ijumu LGA, Alhaji Taufiq Isa and four others for
the alleged Assassination attempt frowned at the continuous absence
of the prosecutor, Lough Simon and his team, saying that he has a
limited time to conclude the case, being a criminal case that
“require us starting afresh”.
He urged the prosecuting counsel to appear physically with the
case file at the next hearing, before granting an adjournment to
22nd March, 2018.
The death of the former judge handling the case, Justice Arome
Akogwu, last year December, cause the reassignment of the case to
Justice Atayi.
Since the reassignment, the prosecution counsel and his team
have failed to appear in court for the second time running.
