Maina.
A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted leave to Mr.
Adeola Adedipe representing Common Inputs Ltd. to withdraw from the
money laundering case brought against the company by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
At the resumed trial in Abuja on Thursday, Justice Okon Abang in
a bench ruling granted the lawyer’s application to withdraw from
the case on the ground that he is yet to be paid for his services
and is unable to locate Mr. Maina who engaged him to represent the
company listed as the second defendant in the case.
