Traffic Jam,lack of respect, laziness, whatever the true reason the unnamed witness must have got a big shock when:
"Justice Amadi then ordered the said witness to pay a fine of D2,000 to the defence team due to his absence."
This incident will also have a big effect on the behavior of lawyers when they ask for their favorite time wasting exercise an "adjournment", SOMETIMES because they have failed to carry out sufficient work on the case they are involved in, the judge COULD take the view that this is not necessary,like all people lawyers are sometimes lacking the training and presentation skills that go with their job,which is very bad for their client or for speedy justice.
Big shock in court for unnamed witness !
