I’ve seen it happen. Also lying under oath is a punishable offence.

There's actually no big issue here. No need to lie.

I cannot be a witness that's all. I can give you any information you want but I cannot be a witness.

... ... If he doesn’t go he will be found guilty of contempt of court ( legal gurus please feel free to correct me).

He could be subpoenaed or forced to give evidence. It like a court order.

justwise:
You don't have to be a witness if you don't feel safe unless the police are ready to provide protection for you else you will be putting your life in danger.
Call the police and tell them that you don't feel safe going to court to give evidence as a witness as that makes you a target.

I think going to the police station is fine to let them know your not comfortable and let's see what they will do.

... I made a mistake and I need help in regards with the issue.
There was a fight in one of the 5 flats opposite mine. It resulted into police action which they came knocking at our door. I was about leaving home for work in the morning and I was asked what I can say in regards to the seen. I informed them I saw an hammer with someone I can't really describe except that the person is bald.
Now the issue is that I got a letter to come forward to the court as a withness to the crime committed by my neighbor. My mind has not been at rest since I got the letter cos of the likely public display of me as a withness.

I am thinking of going to the police station that I'm not comfortable doing this as i felt that I might not be safe living in that area anymore.
Kindly advise on this move.

Yea, a friend of mine an experienced banker from naija got the certification and he's been moving from one contract role to another earning good pay. Recently got a full time offer with Bank of America.

koonbey:

Thank you. Thank you very much for this response. I will heed your advice.

Would you or anyone here happen to have sites they can recommend for placements please?

10KBI doesn't offer a year placement. It's a standard summer internship. Any further extension or permanent offer is between you and the company after the program. Some secure almost-immediate extension but a friend of mine even had a year interval before the company finalised their permanent offer to her but she's now in a City Investment Bank so it was worth it lol.

Anyway, to your case specifically - I'd say if it's possible based on the requirements of your course, work on securing a placement that starts after your 10kBI internship ends. That's the best way to maximise things, in my view. If the company you do the 10kBI wants to retain you afterward, you can work on switching if that's possible. But even if it's not, make sure to leave a great impression and build contacts at the 10kBI place so you can have a leg in the door when you're applying for a permanent role after your placement.

Best of luck.

Thanks so much! I still can't believe this.

You cannot force someone to be a witness, 1. I don't think the court can force someone to be a witness either. 2. The person can as well appear in court and say he didn't see or hear anything even if he had earlier said he saw something.

Hello Seniors,
Kindly help to understand how this works in the UK:
My wife and me will be going to Machester come September via Tier 4 visa. I am the main applicant and my wife will be the dependant.
If my wife(as a dependant) secures a job that can offer her tier 2 visa while i am still a student, does it automatically secures me now as her dependant to remain in the UK under her tier 2 visa? Please how does this aspect work according to the UK rules? Please help out.
Thanks

koonbey:


Wrong on both counts.

1. You MUST go to court if you receive a witness summons. A summons endorsed by the magistrate/judge is not an invitation, however nicely worded - it's an order of court and failure to comply has legal consequences e.g. a contempt charge.

2. This is nonsensical, highly dangerous advice. If you've given a witness statement to the police, deliberately lying to contradict it in court puts you at risk of committing the criminal offence of perjury.

Plus why would you want to do that and possibly jeopardise someone's chance of getting justice or seeing a criminal punished? Wouldn't you want people to testify if you were a victim?

There are provisions to help people who feel threatened before, during or after acting as a witness. Report to the police Victim Support section if there's anything that worries you. In this case, the OP hasn't even cited any threat beyond cold feet.

FFS na, you people. Apparently everyone wants 'saner clime' but few are willing to lift a single finger in civic duty.

Exactly and the main reason why radio/TV tax are not collected in Africa - expensive to collect compared to the value charged. How many police officer den wan risk to go round to do the checks? How much will they pay them for out of duty allowance

koonbey:


It secures your status as her dependent, yes, but you must apply separately for that visa - perhaps after finishing your course, unless you want to forgo school and the T4 visa.

The main applicant will now be the dependent's dependant
