At the resumed hearing on Thursday, Counsel for the defendants earlier moved applications for the remaining suspects to be transferred to prison custody.
The prosecution Counsel, Shuaibu Labaran, who was absent, sought an adjournment of the matter, because he was said to be appearing before the Appeal Court for another matter.
The trial Judge, Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed, adjourned the matter till November 2.
The suspects are standing trial on an eight-count charge bordering on terrorism, which they pleaded not guilty to.
