Trial of Adeyemi Terminated, Charges Moved to High Court
Justice Mohammed Umar terminated the trial of Adeyemi following a request from the federal government. The request was based on a review conducted by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, who identified loopholes in the charges filed by the Inspector General of Police.
Rotimi Oyedepo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and Director of the Public Prosecution of the Federation, moved the application for the termination of the charges. He stated that the documents allegedly forged by Adeyemi during his operations of the fake agency are prosecutable by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, rather than the Federal High Court.
As a result, Adeyemi will be moved to the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory for fresh arraignment.
