The High Court today rejected an application by Charles Bissue, the first accused in an ongoing criminal trial, seeking temporary release of his passport to travel to the United Kingdom and the United States.
Presiding over the case, the court ruled that Mr Bissue's request failed to provide sufficient justification for the travel.
The judgment highlighted that the submitted flight ticket was purchased after the application was filed, while the school admission letter presented was merely provisional.
The prosecution strongly opposed the motion, arguing there was "no genuine intention" behind the travel plans and that the request appeared to be an attempt to circumvent the judicial process.
