Terrorism charge: Ndume asks court to stay proceeding
Category: News Written by Atika Balal
Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, who is standing trial on terrorism-related charges before an Abuja Federal High Court, has asked the court to stay proceedings in the matter pending an appeal he filed challenging the decision of the court to admit in evidence certain documents tendered by prosecution at its last sitting.
Yesterday was slated for continuation of trial but Ndume’s counsel, A. O. Jolawo, informed the court that his client had filed an appeal against the court’s ruling of December 11 and 14 which admitted in evidence DVD’s containing call data records as well as findings of investigations carried out by a Special Investigation Panel of the State Security Service.
Prosecuting counsel, Thompson Olatigbe, said though they had been served notice of appeal, the motion for stay was not ripe for hearing.
Adjourning the hearing to February 19, Justice Gabriel Kolawole said he was rather hesitant to insist that cross examination of the prosecution witness should continue.
