Cynthia Osokogu’s murder: Absence of defence counsel stalls trial

The trial of Cynthia Osokogu’s alleged murderers was on Friday stalled by the absence of the defence counsel, Mr Victor Opara.

Opara, who is the Counsel to Nwabufo, sent a letter notifying the court that he was sick.

Four suspects: Okwumo Nwabufo 33, Olisaeloka Ezike, 23, Orji Osita, 33, and Ezike Nonso, 25, are standing trial before an Ikeja High Court for the alleged.

Mr Ade Ipaye, Lagos State Attorney-General, told the court presided over by Justice Olabisi Akinlade that he was served with a copy of the letter in the court.

Following the development, the judge adjourned the matter to June 21, for continuation of trial.
