“an adjournment will ensure that all responses to the application can be entertained at the same time by the court and necessary ruling delivered.”

Mrs Allison-Madueke’s counsel also agreed to the request for an adjournment. He told the court that he was from the Law Firm of Prof. Awa Kalu (SAN) and that the firm would appreciate an adjournment as their resources are currently overstretched.
