The Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo has issued a warrant of arrest against Asiri Eniba, who is currently standing trial on a murder charge, after he failed to appear before the court for the continuation of his case.

The warrant was granted following an application brought before the court, with the presiding judge ordering law enforcement authorities to arrest the defendant and produce him before the court to answer to the pending charge.

Asiri Eniba is facing prosecution over an alleged murder case. His absence from the scheduled court proceedings prompted the application for the issuance of the arrest warrant.

The development marks a significant step in the ongoing criminal proceedings, as the court seeks to ensure the defendant's appearance and the uninterrupted continuation of the trial.

Further details on the circumstances surrounding his absence and the next adjourned date were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.
