Witness Ekpene Weeps & Extols Rupiah Banda In Court, as He Testifies

A witness in a case in which Former President, Rupiah Banda is charged with abuse of authority wept during testimony describing him, as a man of great honour.

Akpan Ekpene, who spoke between sobs, says he holds Mr. Banda in high esteem because Mr. Banda believed in him.
Mr. Ekpene wished that Mr. Banda had won the 2011 general elections to avert what the duo is now encountering.

Meanwhile, Attempts to block Daily Nation Newspaper from covering court proceedings proved fruitless.

Chief resident magistrate Joshua Banda cautioned Daily Nation Newspaper to be professional in their reporting following an application by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mutembo Nchito
