Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court Abuja has shifted the trial of Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on alleged cybercrime to November 24.
Justice Umar had fixed Monday, October 20th, for the commencement of trial, but that was stalled due to the protest organised by Mr Omoyele Sowore to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The matter was, however, fixed for November 24 when activities at the court resumed on Tuesday.
The judge had on Sepember 22, fixed Tuesday for the hearing after the trial was stalled owing to an objection raised by the defendant.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was arraigned on June 30 on a six-count charge filed by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPF), Mohammed Abubakar.
She was granted bail, following which Justice Umar adjourned till Sept. 22 for the commencement of trial.
However, on the last adjourned date when the prosecuting lawyer, David Kaswe, was about to open his case by calling the 1st witness, the defence lawyer raised an objection.
The development was after a television screen had been mounted in the courtroom preparatory to the commencement of proceedings.
