The trial involving Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority, and seven other individuals has been adjourned.
The court has set August 27, 2026, as the new date for the proceedings.
This delay is due to an injunction application filed by the defense.
The application challenges a directive allowing some cases to be heard during the legal vacation period.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear this application.
Details of the original charges against Abdul-Hamid and the others were not immediately available.
This case is part of ongoing legal processes during the court's vacation.
The Judicial Service has not commented on the specific directive being challenged.
