Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

Justice Umar Garba of the Federal High Court, Benin City, on Tuesday, adjourned the trial of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, for alleged N700m fraud till July 14.<\/p>\n

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned the APC governorship candidate and four others on eight-count charge of fraud.<\/p>\n

Other defendants in the case are former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, Dan Orbih; the current chairman, Tony Aziegbemi; a former deputy governor of the state, Lucky Imasuen, and Efe Erimuoghae-Anthony<\/p>\n

The commission accused the defendants of receiving public funds to the tune of N700m for the 2015 general elections.<\/p>\n

Ize-Iyamu<\/a>, who was expected to appear in court on Tuesday, was absent due to ill health.<\/p>\n

Ize-Iyamu\u2019s counsel, Charles Edosomwan (SAN), told the judge that his client could not make it to the court because was currently indisposed.<\/p>\n

He prayed the judge to allow him to present the certificate of his ill health as certified by his medical doctor to the court.<\/p>\n

After listening to counsel\u2019s argument, the judge adjourned the case till July 14 for hearing.<\/p>\n
