Judge’s absence stalls ex-Oyo park boss Auxiliary’s trial
The absence of Justice Bayo Taiwo, of the Oyo State High Court, on Wednesday stalled the hearing in a case of murder filed against a former chairman of the Park Management System, Mukaila Lamidi, popularly called Auxiliary.
The matter was adjourned until June 11 for the adoption of addresses in the trial-within-trial case. S. O. Adeoye, the prosecuting counsel and director of public prosecution and defence counsel Olalekan Ojo were in court.
Auxiliary is facing trial on a 17-count charge bordering on armed robbery, murder, attempted murder, possession of firearms including AK-47 assault rifles, two SMG rifles with magazines.
The offence is punishable under Section 1(2)(a) and (b) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act, CAP RII, Vol. 14, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
