The trial of a popular street-hop artiste, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, who was charged with alleged cybercrime, has stalled due to the absence of the judge meant to give a verdict in the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State.

The court scheduled to sit on Monday for the trial, failed because the the trial judge, Justice Nicholas Owiebo, reportedly attended a judges’ conference.

LEADERSHIP reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is prosecuting the defendant on charges bordering on cybercrime on May 14, 2019.

Fashola, who made “Am I a yahoo boy” a popular street lingo after he was paraded, was consequently arraigned on May 20, 2019, before Justice Nicholas Oweibo, but he pleaded not guilty.

The court had, accordingly, granted him bail in the sum of N2 million, with two sureties in like sum.

Justice Oweibo had issued a warrant for the production of the defendant following his absence from the trial on October 6.

Oweibo’s order followed an application for a production warrant by the prosecution, Mrs Bilikisu Buhari.

Recall that the Lagos State Police Command had detained Naira Marley and his associate, Sam Larry, in connection with the death of an artiste, Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as “Mohbad”.

At the last adjourned date on October 30, defence counsel, Mr. Olalekan Ojo (SAN) had informed the court that the defendant was still clearly absent from court despite the court’s order for his production.
