She warned that the proceedings would not continue if the prosecution fails to present evidence of the payment of the N200,000 to the defence or come to court with the cash on Thursday.

She condemned the late filing of amended charges by the Federal Government against Sowore and his co-defendant Olawole Bakare, and service of the same on the defendants in the open court.
