A Federal High Court has adjourned the alleged cybercrime trial involving Kogi-based politician and activist, Austin Okai, with the state’s Secretary to the Government (SSG) expected to testify when proceedings resume.
The adjournment followed court proceedings on Tuesday, as the prosecution continued to present its case against the defendant. The SSG is expected to appear as a key witness, a development that could shape the next phase of the trial.
Okai is facing charges bordering on alleged cybercrime, accusations he has consistently denied.
The case has attracted widespread public interest, with observers closely monitoring the proceedings amid growing concerns over the use of cybercrime laws in cases involving political expression and dissent.
The court subsequently fixed a later date for the continuation of hearing.
