The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has slated February 14, 2025, for the arraignment of Ezekiel ThankGod, the business manager of popular gospel singer Mercy Chinwo.
Mr Ezekiel, popularly known as EezeeTee, will face charges before Justice Alexander Owoeye of a Federal High Court in Lagos over alleged financial exploitation of his client.
Last week, the judge issued a bench warrant against the music producer following an ex parte order filed by the lawyer to EFCC, Bilikisu Buhari.
But the case could not be heard on Friday, January 24, 2025, following an appeal by his team of lawyers led by Monday Ubani (SAN), who pleaded with the court to pick a new date due to inadequate preparation.
Ubani, who said his client Ezekiel was unaware of the summons, also assured the court of voluntary appearance of his client in court.
Consequently, the judge adjourned the case to February 14, 2025, for possible arraignment and hearing of pending applications before the court.
