LAGOS—The trial of Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, was, yesterday, stalled due to the absence of the trial judge, who was attending a judges seminar.
Ikuforiji is standing trial alongside his personal assistant, Oyebode Atoyebi, on an amended 54-count charge of money laundering.

The case was adjourned till yesterday, for continuation of hearing, but could not go on as earlier scheduled, due to a judges’ seminar organised by the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON.
When the case was called, the prosecutor, said that he was aware of the engagements of the court in the AMCOM seminar, and therefore, gave his consent for an adjournment.
