Human rights writers association of Nigeria (HURIWA)
describes as a sham, the High Court decision to use masked witnesses by office of
Federal Attorney General, Ministry of Justice.
-
HURIWA said the decision is tantamount to
allowing ghost witnesses, and constitutes grave abuse of natural justice.
-
He said
the accused person must be given the right to interrogate genuine witnesses to
present his case, so the judicial forum can exercise her authority in a transparent
and accountable manner.
-
He stated that this is enshrined in chapter four
of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
