The Federal High Court in Lagos has fixed February 17 to rule on whether or not the Head of Operations, Zenith Bank, Ado-Ekiti branch, Mr Johnson Abidakun, can testify as a prosecution witness in the

ongoing N2.2bn fraud trial of a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, and a firm, Spotless Investment Limited.

The prosecuting counsel for the EFCC, Mr Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, alleged that the testimony given by the bullion van driver was different from the statement he wrote at the EFCC’s office during the investigation of the case.He explained that this was the reason the EFCC sought to replace Aladegbola with Abidakun.

Moving an interlocutory application on Thursday in opposition, Ojo described the prosecution’s move as “unfair, oppressive and unconscionable.”“One witness has come to testify and because you are not pleased with what he said, you want to replace him. It is an abuse of court processes.” After hearing both sides, Justice Aneke adjourned till February 17 to rule on whether or not Abidakun can testify.
