He had argued that only the court could make pronouncements on the defendant\u2019s culpability, not an investigator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the resumed trial today, Justice Oweibo delivered a short ruling in which he dismissed the defense\u2019s objection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is the duty of the law enforcement agency or Police, charging a person to court to investigate if the defendant committed the crime or not. The investigator must be able to link the defendant to the commission of the crime. The prosecutor must have made up his mind as to the involvement of the defendant before bringing the case to court. I do not agree that the prosecution has declared the defendant guilty\u201d, the Judge ruled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, adjourned the trial of Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, on Friday, July 15, 2022.
