The magistrate said the letter came shortly after her clerk sent out notice to the parties that the matter would come up before her today.
Uchenna Moneke, a Lawyer from Festus Keyamo’s chamber who is representing Ms. Otobo and the 2nd defendant, Wisdom Godstime, made an attempt to persuade the magistrate not to transfer the file. He argued that his client was not served in any petition neither did they get a copy of the said letter.Apostle Suleiman's alleged lover, Stephanie Otobo seen in a Lagos court lailasnews2He said such practice is a breach of the legal code of conduct. He also lamented the absence of the complainant, Apostle Sulaiman, in court since the matter started. Mrs. Ayeye however said she has no reason to refuse to transfer the case.
“I am not emotionally attached to any of the cases before me. If I am asked to transfer a case, I will transfer it,” she said.
