A High Court in Abakaliki has adjourned the murder trial of an Ebonyi- based lawyer, Sunday Ununu to November 28. The lawyer is facing trial for allegedly causing the death of Mr Nnamdi Nwite-Ugo, on Aug. 21 at Agbaja-Unuhu in Abakaliki Local Government area of the state.
Ununu, 45, who is been tried on charges of unlawful possession of fire arm and murder, is being remanded in a correctional facility, on the orders of an Abakaliki Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ebonyi.
When the case came up for hearing at the high court on Thursday, defence counsel, Mr Donatus Njoku, applied for bail for his client.
The State Acting Director of Public Prosecution, Mr Jude UdokaChukwu, however, opposed the bail application.
UdokaChukwu argued that bail could only be allowed when the hearing on the matter fully commences in court.
The Judge, Justice Iheanacho Chima, therefore, adjourned the matter until Nov 28, Dec 6 and 13 for further hearing.
