uba, a dismissed soldier, made voluntary statements to the police regarding their alleged involvement in kidnappings.
“The defendants’ counsel did not report to the authorities about the alleged torture before proceedings began. The first defendant’s stories appeared to be contrived for the purpose of this trial. NAN reports that during the trial-within-trial, Evans and Aduba told the court that they were tortured by the police before their statements were obtained.
Haruna and Sgt. Julius Okundeye, who testified in the trial-within-trial on behalf of the police, said that the defendants’ statements were not made under any form of duress.The judge, however, told him that since he was without a lawyer in the previous two court proceedings, the court had made an arrangement for Mrs O.A Adeyemi, a lawyer from Office of the Public Defender , to defend him.
