The trial of Lekan Shonde, the 51 year old dock worker standing trial for the murder of his wife of 8 years and mother of their two children (Ronke), which kicked off on Friday, May 20, at an Ebute Meta (Lagos) magistrate court is just beginning. The real case starts on June 24 (that is if the Director of Public Prosecutions in Lagos is ready to go on) at a High Court.
By and large, the trial which rests its case on ‘a blow to the head of Ronke by Lekan’ will last far more than two years. Before judgment is delivered, we would have settled well in 2018, unless there is a concerted effort to speed up the trial.
Other murder trials in Lagos in recent years lasted that length before judgment was delivered.
