The new date was fixed by the presiding judge, Justice Gideon Kurada, during Thursday’s sitting following the admission of six witnesses tendered by the prosecution counsel led by Dari Bayero.

A director from State Security Services, DSS, was among four witnesses admitted on Wednesday.
The others are residents of Gyallesu where the Sheikh lived before the army’s attack in December 2015.
Bayero informed Justice Kurada that he would present the remaining witnesses, including a General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Nigerian Army, at the resumed hearing next year.
