00:07team has been adjoined to November 17.
00:09Adeni Kayode faces charges including dangerous driving, causing death, reckless driving and driving without due care and attention.
00:18The defense counsel said that the case was an important one and that it shows that Nigeria's system was quite
00:24strong in handling such matters.
00:26This is a very, very important case and it is important not to Nigeria alone nor Nigerians alone.
00:36This is as well important to people in the diaspora that the legal system is not a kind of system
00:43that can be toyed with or is a system that can be maneuvered.

01:15to be coming to court.

01:26driver, he leaves whatever he's doing and comes to the wrong road court so that he will not be adjoined
01:32to a jump bill.
