Counsel to the Oromoni's family Mr. Olawanle Taiwo from the firm of messrs Femi Falana SAN applied for the hearing to be adjourned indefinitely. The application was made on grounds that other parties to the proceedings have not filled their witness depositions.
Responding to the application
Mr. Anthony Kpokpo Counsel to Dowen College
I find the application by , Counsel to the Oromoni's family tragic and fatalistic , as there is a pending order of the court with respect to the issue of witness disposition.
Mrs. Ifeoma Esom
It is an attempt to stop the process since the truth is gradually coming out. Except Oromoni's family is now ready to tell the truth that my clients were framed up, then we will agree to their request
Mr. George A.A Counsel to Lagos State Government.
I find the Application to suspend the Coroner Proceedings indefinite loathsome. The court made a directive of the earth.. this as an indication of having gone livid and developed cold feet. The court should visit the erroneous application with punitive monetary sanctions.
Ayi-Ekpeyong Counsel to one of the accused student.
The application is not in the interest of Justice & the public. it is a ploy to stop the proceedings of the court. The application is unreasonable disrespectful and preposterous.
Eze Ajibo counsel to one of the accused student
Urged the court to discountance the application for adjournment indefinitely. He told the court that we are in a voyage of discovering the truth which will set all the party concerned free.
Mr. Akinnimi Olumide. Counsel to one of the accused Student
The process to unmask the truth has been set in motion and a lot of energy has been dissipated.
The eyes of the world is focused on this inquisition and the world is waiting for the out come so time is of the essence.
Responding to the Application The Coroner Magistrate Mikail Kadiri stated that the application is vexatious as the court had ruled on the matter giving parties the 1st of February, 2022 to file all witness depositions. The court ordered all parties to produce their witnesses in court on Monday 31st January 2022.
The court also notified parties that subsequent sitting will hold in Ikeja.
