WHERE LIES YOUR MORAL VALUE TSOHO

The battle between the indigenous people of Biafra and the Buhari lead Administration took a new dimension today at the Federal high court Abuja,The defending counsel San Muoma arrived the Court few minutes after, Justice John Tsoho came. As at 9:43am the defendants have not been brought to Court. The Prosecuting Counsel demands for an adjournment, due to the delay of the arraignment of the defendants, while the prosecuting counsels worked in, while we await the presence of the defendants just as twinkle of an eye the Leader Of The Indigenous People Of Biafra, was brought in by some security agents and warders, while the court proceeds for hearing. He is on his white Traditional attire, with a Biafra theme on it signifying fearless even the home of the enemy and as the Court proceedings began with the introduction of both accompanied Legal practitioners, defending and prosecuting counsels, the defending counsel San Chucks Muoma noted a change in the prosecuting counsel to L U. Idiakwor and he quickly gave reasons why he Idiakwor shouldn't be the prosecuting counsel and which includes-(1) The prosecuting counsel is a Principle Leader to DSS. (2)He does not belong to any attorney general office to be a prosecuting counsel. (3) By affidavit of investigation, he is a member of the complainants. He cannot be a complainant and prosecutor. It be recalled that same secret has once be ruled out by the same judge, so why ruling on it todat for me means there a strong ploy to indict Citizen Nnamdi Kanu through the secret trial but the motion was considered by the Judge as there was a strong argument between the defending and prosecuting counsel and the case was adjourned for 30 minutes.

After the 30minutes adjournment, defending counsel Chucks Muoma stated that on 10 of December 2015, when Five charges was brought against the defendants, he was granted bail. On the 20th January when the case was transferred to Justice John Tsoho, the court waited for the presumed witnesses, to come and testify but to no avail after he had countered for a Masquerade trial and that an accused person must be accused by his accuser’s eye ball to eye ball. He stated that the motion presented by the prosecutors on the 19th, there is no place in the Law for sentiment or emotions and that he submit with utmost respect facts to go in with his claims. The defending counsel stated that it is quite laughable, that the prosecuting counsel is claiming the presumed witnesses are been threatened through calls on phone, when the defendants don't even have their numbers. He asked who is calling who? When the witness’s phone numbers have not been presented to the Court that he wouldn't want the prosecuting counsel to be rigmarole without hitting presenting standard evidence, to guide his claims. And that, he is ready to sleep in the Court, if he feels he can continue dealing this case.

And went further to ask, if this is the only case that the Court will be dwelling on as he read out Nigeria Constitution from Section 351 sub1 of the application of Criminal Justice of 2015 which demanded that the witnesses be arrested for not showing up in Court. The Prosecuting counsel countered that, his witnesses are ready to testify in Court and that he is ready to go at any length to follow up the case. He was objected by the defending counsel and stated that, the prosecuting counsel should stop holding everyone including the defendants Combats and Captive by not hitting the fact, because this is not the only case he is handling.

The prosecuting counsel pleaded that, the witnesses should be granted secret trial and at least seen behind the screen while they testify in Court. San Chucks Muoma objected him and said the ruling against secret trial has been ruled in the previously thus should be followed up. And that the presumed witnesses cannot come into the Court premises and keep everyone waiting, without showing up in the Court room to testify SAN Chucks Muoma stated that, nobody have undergone such trial before. And that he doesn't know how the witnesses will be brought to Court and testify through the screen. The Judge backed his rulings by stating that, this is not the first case where a screen is been used as he states that Former President of Ivory Coast used a Mask at the International Court but SAN Chucks Muoma stated that Ivory Coast are making use of the Civil Law where you are presumed guilty before trial, but Common Wealth countries practice Common Law as the Judge then said, that the use of mask is different from the use of screens and that if need be, an example can be shown, So the Leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra will be tries in a secretly.
