There was serious drama as the prosecutor from the Commissioner of Police was not informed that the Office of the Attorney General has taken over the case through his counsel.
The prosecutor from the Commissioner of Police later withdraws from the case after forth and back arguments. Thereafter, the state counsel asked the court for 24hrs to study the bail application and apply for a counter, in a bid to further detain the Akoguns.
The court however has this to say: Since the police that was prosecuting the case had refused to file a counter application while still in charge, the state counsel cannot file it any longer, as such, the request of the state counsel is hereby dismissed.
Court to Prosecuting Counsel: “You should not waste our time, there is no counter application before me.”
