A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos yesterday adjourned the continuation of trial of former Governor of Oyo State, Chief Rashidi Ladoja who is facing a charge of N4.7billion fraud till Monday October 9.


Ladoja is standing trial alongside a former Commissioner for Finance in Oyo State, Waheed Akanbi.

At the resumed hearing of the case yesterday Justice Mohammed Idris, adjourned at the instance of Akanbi’s lawyer, Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, who requested that an official of Oyo State should be summoned by the court to tender some documents as exhibits.


Olumide-Fusika had attempted to tender the document during proceedings, but counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Oluwafemi Olabisi, opposed the admissibility of the document, contending that Olumide-Fusika failed to lay proper foundation for it.


Olumide-Fusika however maintained that the document, which was supplied to the court by the Oyo State Government, was important to the defence of his client and urged the court to summon an official of Oyo State Government to appear in court for the purpose of properly tendering the document as an exhibit.


Ladoja’s lawyer, Mr. Bolaji Onilenla, did not oppose the application for adjournment.
