Nigerian singer Naira Marley's cybercrime trial stalls due to pending "fiat" approval.
Nigerian singer Azeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, saw his cybercrime trial stall at a Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday. The trial judge, Justice Isaac Dipeolu, was informed that a pending application for "fiat" — permission for a former judge to continue the trial — is waiting for the Chief Judge's approval. Naira Marley, who sang the song "Am I a Yahoo Boy? ", was arraigned on cybercrime charges in May 2019 and pleaded not guilty.
