Osun LG Funds: Criminal Trial Against UBA Officials Commences

Image
Efforts by APC court-sacked chairmen to stop the trial of top officials of the United Bank for Africa failed today as the Magistrate's Court has commenced criminal proceedings against the bank officials. The Yes/No chairmen had attempted to intimidate the Magistrate and the Judiciary by hosting a demonstration on behalf of the UBA despite clear law provisions and judicial authorities that criminal trials cannot be stopped for any reason. Section 306 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015 has expressly prohibited a stay of proceedings in criminal matters. This position was also supported by Section 40 of the EFCC Act. The Supreme Court (e.g., Metuhv.FRN) had further held  that no court can grant a stay of proceedings, emphasizing the need for speedy justice.
