Barrister Ejiofor, however pleaded that the health of his client is severely deteriorating, and therefore should be released; but Binta Nyako, replied him in a somewhat like harsh manner.
Binta Nyako: "Tell me how you want him to get medical treatment? All this things you are talking about,is sentiment. I have refused to grant him bail,so what other step do you want to take?"
Barrister Ejiofor: "I want him to be released. My client is very I'll and should be released."
Binta Nyako: Benjamin, if you continue to speak that way,I will agree you are a nuisance in my court.
The defendants are infuriating stating that, they were accused in the open and must be tried in the open.
The defending counsels are calming their clients and are trying to fix a date for the case.
The case has being adjourned to 10,11 and 12th of January.
