The tribunal then adjourned to Tuesday, June 18 for their formal arraignment.

With the absence of the tribunal chairman, the trial has been adjourned to July 4, 2019.

The five officials of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly are said to be charged for offenses bordering on gross misconduct and abuse of office.
