On Tuesday, the High Court directed that the children of Mr Peter and late Osinachi Nwachukwu will testify before their father wearing a blindfold and in a shield.
The order is pursuant to Section 2 (1), 160 of the Child Rights Act which recommends testimony under shield for persons under 18.
The prosecution counsel, Aderonke Imana, had urged the court to protect the children by blindfolding them and putting them in a shield while they testified in court and in the presence of their father.
She further asked that everyone not part of the trial should be out in line with the Child Rights Act.
She announced that she had three witnesses for Tuesday, one adult and two persons under 18.
The defence counsel did not object to it.
