The trial of the former Speaker of the House of Representative, Dimeji Bankole, was stalled on Monday following the sudden transfer of the Judge, Donatus Okorowa, who was handling the case.
Mr. Okorowa was shockingly transferred to another Federal High Court in Taraba State on Monday.
Mr. Bankole, who is currently standing trial on a 16 criminal count charge of contract inflation and fraudulent embezzlement of public funds, was scheduled to be tried for four days: from September 24 to 27.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, which is prosecuting Mr. Bankole, has already condemned the sudden transfer of the judge.
