TVC N. A Nigerian Lawyer, Ademola Ekundayo has said, the prosecuting department of the state needs to wake up, for the fact that someone is corrupt does not mean, he cannot be granted a fare hearing.
Ekundayo who was a guest on TVC Breakfast Show made mention of the five-year-old trial of former Ogun State governor, Gbenga Daniel, that was stalled at the state high court in Abeokuta because the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, could not produce three witnesses scheduled to give evidence at the court.
The anti-graft agency told the court it had earlier held a pre-trial conference with the witnesses, and was shocked that they failed to turn up as appointed.
