Lagos—The case of  alleged illegal firearms possession and disobedience of court order against two brothers, Sulaiman Sanusi and Kehinde Sanusi, has been transferred to a new magistrate, Magistrate P. A. Adekomaiya.

The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Oluwafunmilayo Atilade, transferred the case to a new magistrate after the former magistrate, Magistrate Adeola Adedayo, raised an alarm that her life and that of her family was being threatened.

However, the matter, which was slated for the arraignment of the defendants yesterday, was stalled due to the absence of the new trial magistrate.

The new date for arraignment of the defendants has now been fixed for July 21.

The two brothers are the children of late Lagos business mogul, Chief Abdul-Rasak Sanusi.

In the charge, instituted by Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Suleiman was accused of unlawful possession of firearms.

It was further gathered that the charge was as a result of the suit that was instituted in 2002 by Suleiman and two of his siblings against three of their siblings, who were appointed by their late father as the executors of his estate.
