Aliyu Ndume
Tobi Soniyi in Abuja
Justice Gabriel Kolawole of a federal high court sitting in Abuja on
Friday ordered that the trial of Senator Mohammed Aliyu Ndume, who is
standing trial for terrorism related charges, would no longer be
conducted in public.
The trial was temporarily halted last Tuesday following an application
moved by the Department of State Security Services, DSS, where it sought
amongst others, the non disclosure of the identities of its witnesses.
The prosecution had urged the court to exclude persons other than the
accused and his team of lawyers as well as accredited journalists from
the proceedings in view of the nature of the charges and the need to
protect witnesses who are security operatives as well other individuals.
