World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 42m ago

The corruption trial of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido and his sons, involving an alleged N1.35 billion fraud, has been stalled once again due to the absence of the lead defense counsel. The proceedings were rescheduled following the lawyer's failure to appear in court.

This marks the second time within a 24-hour period that the hearing has been postponed for the same reason. The repeated delays have prevented the court from moving forward with the case, prolonging the ongoing legal proceedings against the defendants.
