00:01:52,920 –> 00:01:57,680
Rotemy Oyedepo San, concluded the examination in chief of the

30
00:01:57,719 –> 00:02:03,719
seventh prosecution witness seven Adetora John, but rather than proceed

31
00:02:03,799 –> 00:02:08,000
with the cross examination, counsel for Mfhila or alecan O

32
00:02:08,159 –> 00:02:13,319
Ju San and Omorisk counsel cousin Vadamosi Sun, asked the

33
00:02:13,360 –> 00:02:17,280
court to refuse itself on the allegation of bias. The

34
00:02:17,400 –> 00:02:21,360
defense refused to cross examine the witness and through an

35
00:02:21,479 –> 00:02:29,039
oral application unanimously asked the court to refuse itself, alleging bias. O. Jedepot, however,

36
00:02:29,520 –> 00:02:34,599
vehemently opposed the application. He said, in this proceeding, your

37
00:02:34,639 –> 00:02:38,400
Lordship has numerous times rule against the prosecution, and if

38
00:02:38,439 –> 00:02:41,800
Defense is dissatisfied with the ruling of the court, they

39
00:02:41,840 –> 00:02:45,479
can appeal. I do not know what defense is trying

40
00:02:45,520 –> 00:02:48,599
to prove by telling this court to refuse itself, because

41
00:02:48,639 –> 00:02:52,360
in this case there is no evidence of allegation of bias.

42
00:02:53,199 –> 00:02:55,960
This is a form of delayed tactics. And I orge

43
00:02:56,000 –> 00:03:00,000
your Lordship to discountinance this application because a reasonable person

44
00:03:00,199 –> 00:03:03,479
in this court will realize that this application is meant

45
00:03:03,520 –> 00:03:07,840
to delay this trial. The Court had earlier granted accelerated

46
00:03:07,879 –> 00:03:10,919
hearing in this case, and I olged this honorable Court

47
00:03:11,000 –> 00:03:15,840
to ask Defense to cross examine the witness. Thereafter, Justice
