Adeniyi Adeyemi, who faces criminal charges for runinng and the actitivities of the fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), has yet to appear at the Federal High Court in Abuja for his arraignment scheduled for Tuesday.
By mid-day on Tuesday, Mr Adeyemi, who skipped previous proceedings on health grounds, had yet to be seen in the courtroom where the trial judge, Mohammed Umar, started the day’s court sessions at some minutes past 10 a.m.
Mr Adeyemi’s case is number 12 on the court’s cause list for the day. Although, his case was not set for any particular time, parties to the cases listed for hearing for the day, especially a defendant in a criminal trial whose presence in court is mandatory, is expected to be in court by 9 a.m., as the judge does not have to follow the order in which cases appear on the cause list.
The judge commenced the day’s sitting with the hearing of a pre-election case at about 10 a.m.
He was on the third case as of the time of filing this report at about 12. 50 p.m., yet Mr Adeymi has yet to show up in the courtroom.
