The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , at a Lagos Division of the Federal High Court on Friday, sought and obtained further adjournment in the fraud case against Ayodele Fayose, ex- governor of Ekiti State and his company, Spotless.
"My Lord, from what I am getting as responses from this witness, it looks as if this witness might become hostile as he is making statements absent from his extra judicial statement in the proof of evidence." Mr Jacobs also said, he would have declared the witness hostile immediately, but he had no necessary prior documents to show the court to prove that the witness is making contrary statements prior to previous statements made by same witness which is necessary for him to prove to the court that the witness has turned hostile and to declare him as such.
"The multi million naira question is what is the reason for the application for adjournment? According to the prosecution, 'It appears the witness from answers he is giving is hostile and I need to know the nature of application to make', this reason is untenable in law."
