Chuks Muoma (SAN), Kanu’s lawyer, has asked the court to discharge his client, not only discharging his client but has warned no further arrest will be made by the DSS to his client.
He said, “I posit that the prosecution is not ready to prosecute the charges against the defendants,”
“My lord with respect, it is very clear that this ‘witness story’ is no longer going to be condoned by this court. They can’t open their case. How long are we going to come here?
“I most humbly urge the court to dismiss this complaint. I urge your lordship to apply the law being section 351 (1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
“The prosecution is not prepared to produce its witnesses. I most humbly apply the charge against the defendants be dismissed. My lord should make an order that they should not be rearrested. I seek a specific order that they should not be rearrested.”
But Mohammed Diri, who is the counselor to the DSS argued that the prosecution was ready to call its witnesses, but asked that they be masked.
“Our witnesses are ready. They will definitely come to this court,” he said.
“We have not told this court that we don’t have witnesses, or that they are not around.
“We are simply asking this court to vary its order. To allow our witnesses to testify behind a screen so that their identities will not be revealed. I shall ask for a short adjournment so that we can make an application to vary the order of the court.”
The judge although dismissed the request made by Diri.
The same judge who struck out a Secret trial on the 19th of February and then reconsidered it today been the 7th of March.There is a growing tension in the mind of the people, if Judge Tsoho really knows what he is doing.
