At the resumed hearing, EFCC lawyer, Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, informed the court that, following the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, the Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, was unable to meet with other parties to resolve outstanding issues in the settlement.

Jacobs further stated that the AGF had instructed him to request a short adjournment.

Mathew Onoja, who announced appearance for Nyako, did not object to the application for an adjournment, just as the other defence counsel also did not raise objections.

Justice Peter Lifu noted that since none of the defence counsel objected to the adjournment request, he was minded to grant it.

He also noted that since the court had taken judicial notice of the seven-day mourning period declared by the federal government, the case was adjourned until July 25.
