The Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin has adjourned the trial of five suspects accused of robbing banks and killing several people in Offa last year.
The five accused persons are Ayoade Akinnibosun, Ibikunle Ogunleye, Adeola Abraham, Salaudeen Azeez and Niyi Ogundiran
When the matter came up for hearing on Friday, Justice Halimah Salman reluctantly adjourned the case after the prosecutor pleaded with the court to give him more time to properly study the case.
The defence counsel, Mr Mathias Emeribe, however did not object to the adjournment.
He, however, said he was prepared for the prosecutor to show that they have the capacity to do well in the case.
Justice Salman thereafter adjourned the case till January 25 and stated that she reluctantly took the decision.
She, therefore, warned the prosecutor to be serious about the case.
Her words: “I don’t like what is happening in this case. It is unfortunate that the Attorney General did not give you (prosecution team leader) the file on time. I don’t want that later they will be blaming the court.”
