Olukayode Dada, counsel to Ezike Olisaeloka, one of the four persons linked with the death of Cynthia Osokogu, the daughter of Maj.-Gen. Frank Osokogu (retd), on Tuesday told an Ikeja High Court, Lagos, that his client and the other accused persons had been unduly “tried and convicted” on the pages of newspaper.
