The case, which was before Justice Mohammed Umar, could not proceed due to the judge’s absence.
Ojerinde is being prosecuted alongside four of his children – Mary Ojerinde, Olumide Ojerinde, Adebayo Ojerinde and Oluwaseun Ojerinde – among other defendants.
Other defendants are six companies linked to him: Doyin Ogbohi Petroleum Limited, Cheng Marbles Limited, Sapati International Schools Limited, Trillium Learning Centre Limited, Standout Institutes Limited, and Esli Perfect Security Printers Limited.
The case, marked; FHC//ABJ/CR/119/2023, is one of the criminal charges the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) filed against the ex-JAMB boss.
Ojerinde is also facing another 18-count charge involving the alleged diversion of funds during his time as registrar of the National Examinations Council (NECO) and as JAMB’s chief executive.
The case is before a sister court presided over by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, with a hearing scheduled for March 25.
