Oronsaye and his counsel, Mr Kanu Agabi, were already in court when the registrar announced that the court would not sit and that all the cases had been adjourned.
The registrar told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the adjournment was because judges of the Federal High Court and Court of Appeal were attending a seminar on the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
While cases for ruling and judgement were fixed for Friday, other counsel were asked to pick suitable dates.
