DSS counsel, Akinloku Kehinde, SAN, made the application before Justice Mohammed Umar after Sowore’s lawyer, Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, SAN, sought an adjournment in the matter. When the case was called, Olumide-Fusika informed the court that the matter was scheduled for continuation of defence. He stated that he had been reliably informed that a DSS witness was in court to represent the Director General of DSS, Mr Oluwatosin Ajayi, however, adding, “unfortunately, it will not be possible for us to proceed.” The senior lawyer, therefore, urged the court to foreclose Sowore’s case, arguing that he was merely wasting the court’s time. Kehinde, SAN, submitted that the apex court held that deliberate attempts to stall a trial should not be entertained by the court.
