Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Friday, October 6, 2023, issued a production warrant against Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley.
Naira Marley is being prosecuted by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on 11-count charges bordering on conspiracy
and credit card fraud.
At the resumed sitting on Friday, counsel to the defendant,
Olalekan Ojo, SAN informed the court that the defendant was unavoidably absent
from court owing to his being detained by the Police for interrogation in
respect of the murder of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad. Ojo,
therefore, prayed the court for an adjournment of the trial.
Responding, prosecution counsel, Bilkisu Buhari, however,
prayed the court to issue a production warrant against the defendant to ensure
his presence in court on the next adjourned date.
Justice Oweibo granted the prayers of the prosecution counsel
and issued a production warrant against the defendant and adjourned the matter
till October 30, 2023 for continuation of trial.
