Lagos Court adjourns Akingbola’s trial to March 2014
An Ikeja High Court, Lagos with Justice Babajide Lawal-Akapo presiding, has adjourned the trial of the former Chairman of Intercontinental Bank plc, Erastus Akingbola, to March 24th, 25th, and 27th 2014.
Erastus Akingbola and Bayo Dada, currently facing trial are facing a 22-count charge of conspiracy and stealing on N47.1 billion belonging to the defunct Intercontinental Bank (now Access Bank Plc) were billed for re-arraignment.
The trial which began in 2011 has continually been stalled due to the transfer of the case to different judges. Justice Babajide Lawal-Akapo is the third judge to preside over the trial.
