Justice Kayode Ogunjobi of the Lagos State High Court sitting at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) yesterday threatened to impose more fines on convicted kidnap

But the claimant’s counsel, David Obiora, pointed out that the defendant has changed his counsel so many times during proceedings but he did not oppose the applications.

Obiora further noted that the court on May 23, 2022, granted leave to the defendant to file his statement of defence, stating that he has not filed any defence but he is seeking the leave of the court to amend a defence he has not filed. Although Justice Ogunjobi granted the two applications he said, “This matter has suffered several adjournments. The delay is hurting everybody and putting the state at its expense.

“We have been here since 2018 till 2022, at the instance of the defendant. I was awarded a cost of N2.5 million because the delay was unwarranted. “If there is a further delay, I will award another cost because I don’t see why you have an application to amend your statement of defence and you didn’t come with the amended statement to file it,” the judge stated.
