The trial of the former Chairman of DAAR Communications PLC,
Raymond Dokpesi, stalled on Wednesday after defence counsel made a complaint.
At the resumed trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja on
Wednesday, the defence team led by Mr Wole Olanipekun, argued against the
commencement of the trial on the ground that the proof of evidence supplied by
the prosecutor was not readable.
The prosecutor, Mr Rotimi Jacobs, countered the argument of
Mr Olanipekun saying that since he came into the case, he had not provided the
address of his chambers for the service of documents.
He, however, informed the court that he would make a clean
and clear copy of the proof of evidence available to the defence team before
the next adjourned date.
Justice John Tsoho subsequently adjourned the case to March
28 and 29.
Mr Dokpesi is standing trial on a six-count charge of money
laundering and other charges relating to procurement fraud.
