IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The High Court sitting in Damaturu has adjourned the trial of suspected killers of Sheik Goni Aisami to an unknown date.
The trial judge, Justice Amina Shehu, who is a vacation judge, adjourned the case after the Attorney General of Yobe, Barrister Saleh Samanja prayed the court to give his prosecuting team time to allow him to put his witnesses together for the proper trial of the substantive matter.
Justice Amina Shehu ruled that a new date for the trial of the suspected killers will be communicated to all parties involved in the case.
Newsmen report that the two accused were brought to court by a crack team of police detectives.
Two weeks ago, the trial of the two dismissed soldiers, Lance Corporal John Gabriel and Adamu Gideon arrested in connection with the killing of the Islamic Cleric was delayed over the vacation in the courts.
It was gathered that the police already sent the case file to the Ministry of Justice, but the case could not be filed because all the courts in the country were on vacation.
