The much-anticipated prosecution of Mr. Sylvanus Enonche Okoh, accused of identity theft, fraud, and criminal conspiracy, suffered a setback yesterday as the second defendant in the case failed to appear in court, causing proceedings to be postponed once again.

Mr. Okoh, who also goes by the alias Kenneth Ogbogu, is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on related charges. However, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Police Force, which is leading the prosecution, could not proceed with the case without his physical presence in court.

Sources familiar with the case disclosed that the Police now require formal collaboration with the EFCC to secure Okoh’s release for arraignment. The suspect is also under investigation by the State Intelligence Department (SID) of the FCT Police Command for offenses bordering on forgery, identity theft, and criminal conspiracy.

A senior police official, who spoke off the record, confirmed that the delay was largely administrative but noted that the cooperation of the EFCC would be critical in moving the case forward.

“We need to align efforts with the EFCC to ensure Mr. Okoh is produced in court. He is central to multiple ongoing investigations,” the official said.

Legal observers say this latest delay underscores the need for stronger coordination among law enforcement agencies to ensure that high-profile cases are not derailed by procedural issues.

As the case gains more public attention, pressure is mounting on authorities to ensure a smooth transfer of custody and a speedy trial that will bring the matter to a conclusive end.
