Justice Halima Salman had last week, adjourned the case till today but a circular from the office of the Chief Registrar of the Kwara State High Court directed all members of staff below grade level 14 to work from home.
According to ChannalsTv as early as 8:00 am when our crew got to the court premises, the entrance was locked with no member of staff in sight.
The five suspects standing trial were brought to the court but the prosecuting and defense counsel did not show up.
It is now unclear when next the court will sit on the case.
