Lagos govt to tender fresh evidence against Danish murder suspect vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
He was arraigned on June 13, on a two-count charge of murder, before a Lagos High Court sitting at Igbosere.Five people were alleged to have been in the apartment on the night of the incident: Nielsen, Zainab, Petra, Gift and Favour Madaki, both of whom are Zainab’s step-sisters.
At the resumed hearing of the matter, yesterday, the defence counsel, Olasupo Shasore SAN, informed the court that the prosecution had not kept to its word about the date it promised to serve the new information. “The state has prepared two DNA forensic reports, from which we prepared our defence. We are greatly prejudiced, that on the eve of the testimony of a forensic expert, the state will introduce new evidence without availing us of the opportunity to consider expert advice on this.”“We are disappointed at the conduct of the state, for putting us in this state. We are hereby applying for an adjournment, based on these, and we are at great pains to do so.
In her response, Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, Titilayo Shitta-Bey, said: “I want to apologise to the Learned Silk, the service of the flash drive was not an ambush, or an attempt to delay the trial.
