Former Minister Diezani Sylva has asked the EFCC to reschedule her court appearance due to a medical emergency. She explained that her current health condition prevents her from attending the scheduled session.

Her legal team submitted a formal request to the commission, requesting a new date to ensure she can appear in court without risking her health. The EFCC is yet to respond to the request.

Legal analysts say it is common for defendants to request rescheduling on medical grounds. They note that the EFCC and courts usually consider such requests to ensure fairness.

Sylva’s request highlights the ongoing legal proceedings involving her. Observers are watching closely to see when the EFCC will set a new appearance date for the former minister.
