The
suspected Port Harcourt serial killer, Gracious David West, appeared in court
on Friday 18th January 2020 wearing the Salvation Ministries ‘5
nights of glory’ tag
David West trial could not go on as planned because his counsel, Vincent Chuku, was absent in court to continue with the cross-examination.
The State
Prosecutor, Chidi Ekeh and counsel to the second defendant, Lezina Amegwa
informed the court that all efforts to reach Chukwu proved abortive.
Justice
Adolphus Enebeli ordered that the hearing notice be served to his counsel
before the next adjourned date. He stated that Chuku cannot withdraw from the
case on his own. He adjourned the case to 24th January.
