[TOP STORY] Akwa Ibom guber: YPP lawyer alleges threats to life, wants tribunal transferred to Abuja | TheCable

In a letter dated June 20 and addressed to the chairman of the tribunal in Uyo, the state capital, Raji said he has written to the president of the court of appeal, seeking to transfer the panel to the federal capital territory or another safe location.This request of mine was compelled, by the unsavoury life-threatening exposure we were subjected to, after/ the proceedings of 20th June 2023,” Raji said.

“During the proceeding of 20th June 2023, the said witness — Daniel Akpan, was still resisted from testifying, by unknown men and supporters of Eno Umo Bassey. “Unfortunately, the tribunal rebuffed this complaint, perhaps because he was perceived to be a helpless common man.”
