ABUJA — The alleged financial crime case involving some former officials of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has been adjourned to August 17, 2026, following the inability of the court to sit.
The National Chairman of the SDP, Professor Sadiq Abubakar Gombe, who spoke to journalists after appearing in court on Monday, expressed confidence that the prosecution had assembled sufficient evidence to prove the allegations against the defendants.
Gombe said the matter could not proceed because the court informed parties that it would not sit due to unforeseen circumstances, prompting an agreement on a new date for continuation of proceedings.
“Today is July 20, 2026. We came to court early enough, but unfortunately, the court announced that it would not be sitting due to unforeseen circumstances and apologised. We have now taken August 17 as the next adjourned date for the prosecution to continue,” he said.
