When the matter came up this morning, the counsel to the two parties, Akingbola and  the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, claimed the case had been  assigned to another judge, Justice Charles Efanga Archibong.

Though no official reason was given, it may not be unconnected with the fact that  Justice Mohammed Idris before whom Akingbola was initially judge arraigned, was a  vacation judge then.
