The judge yesterday adopted final written addresses which contained arguments of the two lead counsel in the matter, Rotimi Jacob (SAN) for the state and Mathew Emeribe, the defence counsel.

The prosecution and defence teams adopted their addresses one after the other on point of law. However, the presiding judge said that the August 2, 2024 date for judgement is tentative.

LEADERSHIP recalls that the six accused persons, including a policeman, Michael Adikwu (deceased), Ayoade Akinnibosun, Azeez Salahudeen, Niyi Ogundiran, Ibikunle Ogunleye and Adeola Abraham, were arrested in connection with the incident.

Ayoade Akinnibosun and four others are currently standing trial in the case, which began on November 11, 2018.
