Insufficiency of key documents stalled the trial of Afeez Adesina Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley before Justice I. Nicholas Oweibo sitting in Federal High Court Ikoyi, Lagos on Tuesday, October 22, 2019.
According to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as the trial of Naira Marley began on Tuesday, ‘the defense counsel brought in a “motion on notice” asking the prosecution to front load more documents whose unavailability temporarily brought the trial to an end.
It could be recalled that the Nigeria artiste, Afeez Adesina Fashola was arraigned, on May 20, 2019 on an 11-count charge of credit card fraud preferred against him by the EFCC.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to all the charge leading to the commencement of trial.
