Hearing on a suit filed by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, against the former Minister of Aviation, Babalola Borishade and four others before Justice Abubakar Sadiq Umar of the FCT High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, was stalled on Wednesday, February 3, 2016.

The stalling was based on the request of the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, for brief on the matter.

Though both parties were present in court, Justice Umar informed them that the matter could not go on as planned as the AGF requested for a brief on the case by the EFCC since the matter had been in court for about 7 years. 

He presented a letter dated February 2, 2016 from the AGF requesting for an adjournment of the case and records of court proceedings so far.
