Daily Trust reports that Prosecution counsel, Suleiman Ibrahim Kufena had told the court that fresh charges had been filed before the High Court.

However, the defendant, whose lawyer Murtala Baba Ibi was absent in court said though he had not been personally served, he was not aware if a court order had been served to his lawyer.
