Shocking As Court Approve Secret Trial by LordEmperoris1(m): 5:38pm On Mar 07, 2016 |
SHOCK AS JUDGE TSOHO MAKES A U-
TURN, AGREES ON A SECRET TRIAL By Okonkwo Isaac Somto
For Family Writers After much argument and
deliberation from the defending
lawyer and the prosecuting lawyer
on whether the witness should be
granted a secret trial, Judge Judge
Tsoho who initially ruled out the secret trial has shockingly agreed to
a secret trial. Making his submission, Chuks
Muoma (SAN), Kanu’s lawyer, had
asked the court to not only
discharge his client, but also to
order that he should not be
rearrested by the DSS. “I posit that the prosecution is not
ready to prosecute the charges
against the defendants,” he said. “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, counsel to the
DSS, in his argument, stated 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.”
Although the judge declined the
request to dismiss the charges
against Kanu he upheld the
argument of Diri that the prosecution witnesses should be
given some form of protection by
use of a screen. This was the same Judge who struck
out a Secret trial on the 19th of
February and then reconsidered it
today been the 7th of March. Judge Judge Tsoho ruled that, the
witnesses should be granted a
secret trial, which is totally contrary
to his former rulings. Many continue
to wonder if Judge Tosho really
knows what he's doing or has he suddenly gone daft of the justice,
the Judiciary needs to uphold?
Judge Tsoho should be under
investigation for the alleged bribe
he collected from president Buhari
(N100million scandal). Judge Tsoho continue to show that
he is a willing puppet and a pawn
been used by Mohammadu Buhari,
to continue frustrating and
adjourning the case. Buhari who
have vowed that Nnamdi Kanu will be jailed, has found a willing tool in
Judge Tsoho, a man willing to do
Buhari's bidding. The Nigeria judiciary is a disgrace
and shouldn't even capable and
dependable to be able to carry out a
justified case in court. It’s now time
to know that this case against
Nnamdi Kanu will go on forever if allowed, we can no longer folds our
hands and watch, hoping that one
day, Nnamdi Kanu will receive
justice from the Nigeria Judiciary.
That won't happen, because the
Nigeria Judiciary doesn't have any power against the government of
Buhari. The Nigeria Court is a failure and a
shame to the rule of law. Judge
Judge Tsoho is a man who keeps
getting instructions from Buhari on
how the case should go on and you
expect the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra to receive a fair
judgment? We all know the answer
to that. The case has been adjourned to 9th
March and a Secret trial will be
granted, through the use of screen. |
