Dr Patrick Akpobolokemi is ill.
The former director-general of NIMASA is facing multiple charges for theft.
His lawyer, Joseph Nwobike(SAN) told Justice Ibrahim Buba at the Federal High Court in Lagos, about his ill-health.
Nwobike told the court that his client had complained of a feverish feeling but managed to be present in court. He then prayed the court for an adjournment.
Buba thereafter fixed May 27 for continuation of trial.
Akpobolokemi is facing trial for N2.6 billion theft, alongside Ezekiel Agaba, Ekene Nwakuche, Governor Juan, Blockz and Stonz Ltd and Al-Kenzo Logistics Ltd before Justice Ibrahim Buba.
They had all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In the 22-count charge, the accused persons were alleged to have converted N2.6 billion to their use between Dec. 23, 2013 and May 28, 2015.
The prosecution said the offences contravened sections 15 (1), 15 (3) and 18 (a) of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act, 2012.
The EFCC had called its 12th witness on April 18.
