The trial of Bayelsa State born news blogger, Saint Mienpamo Onitsha, on allegation of publishing a false report against the Kogi State government took a new twist on Tuesday, October 6th, 2020, as the trial judge, Justice Awogboro Abimbola Olawunmi of Federal High Court 2, sitting in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, ordered for the recall of the DSS Investigation officer, Frank Udo and the Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kingsley Fanwo, to appear for further cross-examination in the ongoing trial.

According to the Court, the order for the  reappearance of the DSS officer and the Kogi Commissioner for Information is sequel to an application filed by Benjamin Ogbara Esq, the defence counsel, for recall of the witnesses pursuant to section 219 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, section 36(6)(b) of the 1999 constitution as amended and the Supreme Court case of Adisa v. Attorney General Western Nigeria.
