Justice Adeola Olatubosun of the Chief Magistrates Court in Yaba, Lagos State, has adjourned the trial of Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, to Wednesday, May 24, 2023.
A source who pleaded anonymity told Punch that the trial, which was slated for today, May 23, 2023, was said to have been adjourned as a result of the judge’s absence from the court.
“The trial has been adjourned till tomorrow, May 24, 2023, because the judge is not around,” the source was quoted as saying.
Punch reports that as of the time of this report, efforts to reach Seun Kuti’s manager proved abortive because his phone was reportedly switched off.
Thelagostimes recalls that Seun Kuti was arrested for assaulting a police officer on the Third Mainland bridge, prompting the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to order his arrest.
