Prior to the scheduled hearing, Barker-Vormawor expressed his expectations for the state to continue with the case without interference.
He emphasized his readiness to face the charges brought against him and urged for transparency in the legal process.
“No, I do not want the Attorney-General to file any Nolle Prosequi in this matter. He has committed two years to it, best he sees it through,” he stated.
