The lawyers, therefore, prayed the court to halt the trial until the final determination of the appeals by the Court of Appeal. Appearing before the court yesterday, Director of Public Prosecutions, Yvonne Atakora-Obuobisa, told the court that they have not been served with any of the applications. The five accused persons are also facing 16 other charges, including conspiracy to steal, stealing, using public office for profit, money laundering, among others. The presiding judge, in his ruling, dismissed the applications and ordered the accused persons to open their defence on May 30, 2019.
