The State High Court Kaduna has adjourned trial of the Shiite leader, Mallam Ibrahim El-Zakazaky and his wife Zeenat Ibrahim, indefinitely following the appointment of the presiding judge, Justice Gideon Kurada to serve as the judge in the Presidential and National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal in Yobe.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the adjournment, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and lead counsel to the defendants, Femi Falana said apart from the fact that, the trial Judge was absent, his clients were also in serious need of medical attention and that was why they could not appear in court.
In his statement “The court has adjourned ‘Sine die’, meaning indefinitely. My clients are yet to access any form of medical attention even after the court had ordered so. The case has to be adjourned as both my clients need time to attend to their health.”
