• Court orders IGP to protect witnesses.
Justice Jude Okeke of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, in Maitama, on Monday, threatened to strike out the charges preferred against a judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, and others, if the prosecution failed again to present its next witnesses at subsequent court sittings.
The Federal Government is prosecuting Justice Ademola, his wife, Olabowale, and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Joe Agi, on charges bordering on giving and receiving of gratification and alleged illegal possession of firearms found with the judge.
The prosecution led by Mr. Segun Jegede had called five witnesses, but was unable to continue its case by calling its sixth witness as scheduled on Monday.
