A Lagos-based lawyer, Ken Nwanna, has formally petitioned the state’s Attorney General, Lawal Pedro, alleging obstruction of justice in the trial of fifteen Chinese nationals. Nwanna claims the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) is deliberately hindering the case, which is currently before Justice Adesanya at the Lagos High Court. The petition details concerns about the ongoing delays and lack of progress in bringing the matter to resolution. Specific details of the charges against the Chinese nationals were not provided in the report. The lawyer is seeking the Attorney General’s intervention to ensure a fair and timely trial for his clients. Vanguard News reported the filing of the petition, highlighting the lawyer’s frustration with the DPP’s actions. The Attorney General’s office has not yet publicly responded to the allegations.
