AKINGBOLA INSISTS TO BE RETRIED IN COURT A FRESH

Mr. Erastus Akingbola, the Former Managing Director of Intercontinental Bank Plc, ,Today, at a

Lagos High Court, Ikeja, insisted that he should be re-tried afresh for alleged stealing of the bank’s N47bn.


The accused at his re-arraignment before Justice Adeniyi Onigbanjo on Tuesday rejected the

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s call to adopt the proceedings of the aborted trial.

His previous trial along with General Manager, Tropics Securities Ltd, Mr. Bayo Dada, was aborted

by the elevation of the former trial judge to the Court of Appeal.

The trial presided over by Justice Habeeb Abiru was aborted last November just before parties were
about to exchange final addresses.
