What happened in court

The eighth prosecution witness, Ibrahim Ahmed was called to the witness box where he affirmed the evidence under oath. He confirmed that the documents tendered as evidence were the statements of the defendants that he took during the time of their arrest.

While identifying the statements, Mr Ahmed told the court that the statements were taken and recorded before their lawyer.

The defence counsel then applied orally for a trial within trial. He claimed the statement of the second defendant (Mr Aliyu) was taken under duress.

A trial within trial is a mini-trial inside a case.

The prosecution is expected to prove that the statements of the defendants were taken willingly and legally.

Responding to the application, the prosecution counsel, Bala Sanga said he was not opposing the application and that the prosecution is prepared for it. “ We are ever ready for a trial within trial” Mr Sanga said.

Justice Ekwo granted the application and adjourned the matter until tomorrow, Tuesday, November 7, for a trial within trial.
