The scheduled trial of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dele Belgore, for alleged money laundering was stalled on Thursday due to the unavailability of the prosecuting counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo.
Justice Rilwan Aikawa of the Federal High Court in Lagos, who is presiding over the case, was told by another lawyer from the EFCC office, Nkereuwem Anana, that Oyedepo was unable to make it to court as his vehicle broke down on the way to the court.
Also, Anana said even the first prosecution witness, who is coming from Ekiti, was still on his way.
