At the federal High court today in Abuja, Justice Ishaq Bello of the federal capital territory (FCT) court, adjourned the trial of Olisa Metuh, spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), because he (Bello) could no longer see clearly.
Metuh, who was in court, is facing charges for destruction of evidence brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He is also facing multiple counts of criminal breach of trust and money laundering preferred against him by the EFCC at the federal high court, Abuja.
It was gathered that after Metuh's case was called, Justice Bello complained to the counsel of the prosecution and that of the defendant that his vision had become 'shadowy', hence the trial would not continue.
The judge who had earlier presided over a case before that of Metuh was called, said, "I had a surgery on my eyes, and I am already seeing shadows… so for this reason we will have to adjourn," he said.
Thereafter the trial was adjourned to May 26.
