Change in counsel stalls trial of 5 in UNILAG student’s gang-rape saga vanguardngr.com vanguardnews

Moboluwaji Omowole, 19; Chuka Chukwu, 19; Peace Nwankama, 19; James Aguedu, 20, and Osemeka Josephine, 20, are alleged by the prosecution to be some of the students involved in the serial gang-rape of a UNILAG student within the premises of the institution.

“In order for justice to be done, I will need time to study the proof of evidence in this case in order to properly cross-examine the witness. In order not to frustrate the trial, I request that my cross-examination should be adjourned and the other counsel should proceed with their cross-examination.”

Mrs Abimbola Akeredolu counsel to Chukwu, in her application, said: “The applicant does not constitute a flight risk. He is a student whose academic pursuits have been disrupted. “He is from a religious family and his pastor has written to Babcock University to give them sufficient time to sort out his bail application.”
