File: African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.
A Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, adjourned the alleged criminal defamation trial of human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, until August 3 for the continuation of the defence.
Justice Mohammed Umar announced the adjournment at the end of Tuesday’s proceedings.
This was after the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), who appeared for the Federal Government during Tuesday’s proceedings, raised an objection on the subpoena issued to the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Oluwatosin Ajayi, to testify in the case.
Fagbemi argued that the subpoena issued to Ajayi should be set aside because the document the DSS chief was expected to tender was neither authored nor signed by him.
