Peter Nwachukwu the husband of the late gospel singer, Osinachi, has appointed a new layer to take over the homicide-related suit instituted against him by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
When the matter before Justice Njideka Nwosu-Iheme of the Federal High Court in Abuja came up, the Prosecution Counsel, Aderonke Imana, informed the court that the matter was for hearing and that they were ready to proceed.
A. Ogbonna also announced his appearance as watching brief of the nominal complainant.
The counsel that represented the defendant during his arraignment, Victor Abakpa, however, prayed the court to adjourn the matter until Tuesday, as another lawyer from a different chamber just informed that he was taking over the case.
He further stated that he was equally served additional proof of evidence in the court just before the court started the day’s proceedings.
The new lawyer employed by Nwachukwu, I. A Aliyu, on his part, informed the court that he was briefed by the defendant on June 18 to take over the case.
The court, therefore, adjourned the case to 11 am in order for counsel to align themselves and come properly before it.
