Justice Crack’s Bail Application Suffers Setback
About The Author
Hearing of the bail filed by popular blogger Justice Chidebere, also known as Justice Crack, has suffered a setback at the Federal High Court in Abuja as his former lawyer withdrew his bail application.
At the day’s proceedings, a lawyer from the office of the Attorney General of the Federation announced an appearance for the prosecution.
She stated that the AGF is taking over the prosecution of the case.
When it was time for the defendant’s counsel to announce his appearance, two lawyers, Olufemi Balogun and Marshal Abubakar, both stood up and tried to announce the defendant’s appearance.
The trial Judge, Justice Joyce Abudulmalik, asked the defendant who was leading his case. Justice Crack pointed out to Mr Balogun.
Shortly after, Marshall Abubakar withdrew from the matter as well as the applications he had filed.
Balogun told the court he will be filing a fresh bail application.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik subsequently adjourned the case until May 18 for a hearing.
