The trial of former governor of Kebbi State, Usman Saidu Dakingari was on Monday, June 29, 2020 stalled due to absence of his counsel, A.A. Awomolo( SAN) and the counsel to the second defendant, O.A. Dada.
Prosecution witness, Olabode Omolola was also absent in court due to the subsisting lockdown.
At the last adjourned date, the matter was stalled due to the absence of the second defendant and it was subsequently adjourned to Monday, June 29, 2020 for continuation of trial.
