The trial of a former spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, was stalled again, on Thursday, in an FCT High Court, Maitama, due to another adjournment.
The trial was adjourned again till May 3, for the defence to open its case; the adjournment was at the instance of the court.
Metuh was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on a two-count charge, bordering on destruction of evidence.
The judge, Justice Ishaq Bello, on Oct. 10, 2016 adjourned till Nov. 22, 2016 for the defence to open its case; it again adjourned till Jan. 24, 2017, and then again till March 2.
Prosecuting counsel, Mr. Sylvanus Tahir, had earlier called three witnesses to testify.
At the resumed hearing, on Thursday, both counsel and Metuh were in court.
The next adjourned date was fixed with the consent of all the parties in the matter. (NAN)
