The trial of the former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal, Alex Badeh, has begun at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
His lead Counsel asked the court to grant his client bail since he had met all the conditions, except for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that has not gone to certify the properties of the sureties despite an existing court order to do so.
The trial was stalled on Wednesday, March 23, 2016, because of the absence of the trial judge, Justice Obong Abang.
The prosecution witness, who had testified at the last sitting, was expected to be cross-examined by counsel to the former Defence Chief.
