Magistrate threatens warrant of arrest for Boko

"We are on the brink of issuing a warrant of arrest against your attorney because his conduct borders much on contempt of court," the magistrate told one of Boko's clients, Patrick Cole. Moroka was concerned that on a number of occasions, Boko would come late and apologise to the court. "The court would sometimes adjourn at his instances when he would not appear," he said.

He stressed that the court can no longer wait for Boko. "We have waited for so many times for Mr Boko and we can no longer postpone at his instances," Moroka said. Boko's non-attendance meant that testimony by a cell phone expert was not tested.
