Edo State Government has closed its case in the trial of four suspected kidnappers at a special court approved to try kidnapping and cult-related cases. The prosecution is handled by the state Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General, Prof. Roland Otaru, who closes the case after calling a total of seven witnesses. The matter involves allegations that the suspects abducted a woman at a vegetable market along Airport Road in Benin City. The proceedings take place in the special court set up for such offences. Following the prosecution’s closure, the case moves to the next stage of the trial process, where the defence is expected to respond based on the evidence presented. Both reports confirm that the state has completed the presentation of its witnesses and that the trial concerns four defendants facing kidnapping-related allegations connected to the abduction at the market location.
