…. orders them to enter defence.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja has overruled the no case submission made by Professor Cyril Ndifon and his lawyer, Barrister Sunny Anyanwu in the case instituted against them by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The Commission is prosecuting Ndifon and Anyanwu over alleged sexual misconduct and attempt to perverse the cause of justice contrary to Sections 8, 18 and 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and Section 182 of the Penal Code Cap. 532 Laws of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, 2006.
Before the ruling on the no case submission, the second defendant, Barrister Sunny Anyanwu had informed the court of the absence of his counsel and that of the first defendant, Mr. Joe Agi, SAN, just as he prayed for an adjournment.
However, Justice J.K Omotosho held that the ruling on the no case submission would be determined first before the prayer for an adjournment would be heard.
