The money laundering trial of a former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Monday, stalled before a Federal High Court Lagos as the trial court did not sit.
The trial, which was fixed for continuation on Monday, could not proceed as the trial judge Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke was said to be attending a conference.
A new date will now be agreed on by the parties in due course.
The former Governor is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for N6.9 billion fraud and money laundering charges.
On October 22. 2018, he was arraigned alongside his company, Spotless Investment Ltd, on 11 counts bordering on fraud and money laundering offences.
