If this goes unpunished it would set a precedent for future secret trial; meaning, someone can falsely accuse you of a crime and allowed to bring in fake/masked/shielded witnesses to testify.

LIVE UPDATE

The Press was ordered to leave in other to bring in the witnesses and make some demonstrations. The presiding Judge Justice John Tsoho arrived the Court at exactly 10:05am and Court proceedings took off, with the introduction of both counsels and their learned friends.

My Lord "The demonstration and hearing was suppose to take place today been the 9th of March 2016, but an appeal and complainant respondence was promptly served on the 8th of March 2016. Sequel to a motion for stale proceedings was file this morning,been the 9th of March here in the Court. I await the response of prosecuting counsel as regards to the application filed this morning.

The prosecuting counsel L.U Idiakwor "My Lord the Five witnesses are outside the Court, waiting to come into the Court to testify. But because of the motion of notice filed by the counsel of the defendants, we shall be asking for an adjournment so that we will be able to respond to the application"

Your allegations are false. The accused, his defence team, the prosecutor and the judge all get to see the witnesses. The only people who wont see the witnesses are the public.

This is needed since Mr Kanu insists on having his family members in court during proceedings. If he had forfeited that right, there wont be any reason for DSS to shield the witnesses.

Remember the witnesses are members of the public like you and I. The IPOB goons openly threaten even strangers, what do you think they will do to any one who lives amongst them but testifies against Kanu?

Lastly, I see Kanu's case going the way of Rev. King. He will huff and puff till supreme court insist on his death sentence.
