Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja has granted permission to the federal government for its witnesses to testify behind camera in the terrorism charges brought against the Biafra nation agitator, Nnamdi Kanu.
The Judge granted the permission on Tuesday while delivering ruling in an ex-parte application filed by the federal government lawyer, Chief Adegboyega Solomon SAN.
Galaxy Television reports that Adegboyega Solomon while arguing the application pleaded with Justice Omotosho that the identities of the witnesses needed to be protected for security reasons. He informed the court that the charges against Kanu bothers on terrorism, hence, the need to protect the witnesses.
The senior lawyer requested that the name of the witnesses be shielded from the public for the general reasons of security. Due to no objection from Kanu’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi SAN, Justice Omotosho granted the request.
Kanu’s lawyer however requested for similar cooperation from the federal government when bail application for Kanu would be argued. As of the time of this report, the first witness of the federal government code named, PWAAA has commenced testifying as government formally opened its case against Kanu.
