She said, “as long as they're security operatives, they'll still testify behind the screen.

“Even if you continue to shout till thy kingdom come, the order for witnesses to testify behind the screen still stands and I cannot change it.

You(Ejiofor), the defendants, the defense counsels will see them but other people outside these people will not see them.

“You're talking when am talking and that's disrespectful.

“We need to protect the security of the witnesses not because of this case but for future references.

“Their names are already in your list, so what's the big deal about that.

“If you want to see their body language or observe their demeanor to see if they are lying, then they have to wear mask.

"So you have to choose, it's either they wear masks or they testify behind the scenes.
