The trial of Chidinma Ojukwu, a three hundred-level Mass Communication student of the University of Lagos, accused of murdering Super TV’s Chief Executive Officer, Usifo Ataga, was stalled today at the Lagos State High Court, sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square Annex.
Ojukwu, her co-accused, Adebayo Quadri and one Chioma Egbuchu pleaded not guilty to the nine-count charge before Justice Yetunde Adesanya during the last sitting in October.
Defence counsels complained that the statements contained in the proof of evidence served on them were all unclear and that the audio interviews of the defendants were also unclear.
Justice Yetunde Adesanya, in her ruling, directed the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution to provide clearer statements and audible copies of the interviews to all the defence counsels.
She further adjourned the matter to November 11th to enable the prosecution amend the court processes.
