Mohammed, was scheduled for cross-examination.
At the resumed hearing, counsel to the prosecution, Rotimi I. Oyedepo (SAN), Director of Public Prosecution, informed the court that the matter had been formally taken over by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).
He further disclosed that a formal request had been made to obtain the record of proceedings to enable the prosecution adequately review the case file and ensure effective handling of the matter.
Following this development, the prosecution sought an adjournment to allow sufficient time to study the case records.Counsel to the defendants, including M. J.
