The presiding judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed on Monday adjourned the matter till July 7, because the 5th and 6th respondents had not been served with the processes.

Oshiomhole approached the high court after the Edo state government set up an investigation committee to evaluate the construction of the Edo Specialist Hospital and supply of equipment for the hospital during the former APC chairman’s tenure as Edo State Governor.
