The trial of the controversial singer, Naira Marley, who faces charges of alleged cybercrime, has experienced a delay due to the absence of the judge, Justice Nicholas Owiebo, who was meant to give a verdict at the Federal High Court in Lagos State.
The court session scheduled for Monday, November 13, did not proceed as planned because the judge was attending a judges' conference.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been prosecuting Azeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, on cybercrime charges since May 14, 2019.
