Chidinma’s counsel, Onwuka Egwu, however, objected to the tendering of the statement by Access bank on the grounds that the defence was been taken by surprise.

Another lawyer, Babatunde Busari, who represented the second defendant, Adedapo Quadri, also raised similar objections. He noted that the Access bank statement sought to be tendered was different from the account details already tendered to the court as an exhibit.

This made the Counsel to the Lagos State Government, a Deputy Director of Public Prosecution, Adenike Oluwafemi, to ask the court to grant a short adjournment to enable her to cross-check and tidy her documents. jamb results

Justice Yetunde Adesanya thereafter adjourned till Tuesday, April 26, for the continuation of the trial.

The murder was said to have been committed in a service apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
