Let us go within the ambit of the law to protect the witness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also warned against unguided publication against the defendants \u201cbecause they are still presume innocent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justice Omotosho then made an order that journalists must not reveal the identity of the witness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to protect the dignity of the alleged victim, I hereby made an order that the identity of the victims shall not be maintained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the purpose of this trial, the name of the victim shall be called TKJ,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, while giving her testimony, the ICPC investigator said a forensic analysis done on Ndifon\u2019s phone revealed that there were several nude pictures from many contacts.<\/p>\n<p>Chima, who was led in evidence by the co..ission\u2019s lawyer, Osuobeni Akponimisingha, claimed that a diploma student (name withheld based on the order of court to protect the victim) of the university sent pornographic photographs of herself to him through his mobile telephone at different times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw so many nude photos of so many contacts, including the contact of TKJ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTJk was of particular interest to the investigation because TJk\u2019s case is a case we observed that nude pictures were requested by the 1st defendant as currency for admission for the diploma class, transiting to the LLB Class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe sought to confront the 1st defendant with our findings and he refused to give his statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe left him and decided to go on a fact-finding mission to Calabar where we interacted with a student with the aid of a lecturer who identified him for the team,\u201d Chima, the 1st prosecution witness, said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that the 2nd defendant, a lawyer, called the victim witness to shun the ICPC\u2019s invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Chima said, \u201cThe victim witness told us that she received a strange call from a lawyer and friend of the 1st defendant who told her not to honour the invitation of the ICPC. We confronted him and he denied it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe also made a statement denying he called the victim witness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut a forensic report on the call log and other information from the network provider showed the contrary. He actually called the victim witness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing a suspect in the matter we retrieve his phone from him. He signed a consent form for the retrieval of his phone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe forensic unit and response from the service provider revealed that the 2nd defendant\u2019s call to our witness known as TKJ was for 679 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also revealed that TKJ\u2019s number was forwarded by the 1st defendant to the 2nd defendant. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>She told the court that while the phones of the first and second defendants were with the commission, Ndifon approached his service providers for a SIM swap, claiming his phone was missing.<\/p>\n<p>She alleged that Ndifon did that to temper with the commission\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The PW1 also informed the court that while the allegation of sexual harassment had been concluded, that of financial misappropriation was ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cMy lord, we have an investigation ongoing against him on the financial impropriety allegation while we have concluded that on sexual harassment. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Documents used during the course of her investigation were tendered by the prosecution counsel and they were admitted as evidence by the trial judge.<\/p>\n<p>The PW1 was also cross-examined by the defence counsel before the witness was discharged from the witness box and matter adjourned until Thursday<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
