On May 12, 2022, the trial could not go on due to change of counsel by the third defendant (Egbuchu).

The new counsel, Mr Ngozi Akandu, however, asked that more eligible documents be served on him as well as more time to enable him get acquainted with the proof of evidence.

Also on May 23, the trial couldn’t go on as well, as the three defence counsel, objected to the tendering and admissibility of some documents that were recovered from Ojukwu’s home, during a search by the Police investigative officer, IPO.

However, the Judge, Justice Yetunde Adesanya, ordered the prosecution to serve the defence with every necessary document for the trial and vacated Tuesday’s date.
