“My Lord we have a witness but the witness can’t testify In court because he is an undercover agent, he has been an undercover over a decade because he is a security personnel, exposing him now will bring danger to the public and his safety will be at risk, So we would like it to be on camera, My Lord.” A.M Yusuf told the judge.
