The magistrate’s court in Lilongwe, Malawi, has dismissed a bid by self-proclaimed prophet Shepherd Bushiri and his wife, Mary Bushiri, for the recusal of the presiding officer in the pair’s extradition hearing.This after the defence made an application on behalf of the Bushiris for Chirwa’s recusal on Monday afternoon, arguing the case was moved from the previous magistrate, Viva Nyimba, to Chirwa, without alerting them.
“It is a good decision and as we had argued that’s what the law is in this country and we are grateful that the decision has been made and that the matter proceeds,” Director of Public Prosecution Steve Kayuni told the media after proceedings.Bushiri’s lawyer raised, among other things, that the court viewed the extradition proceedings as civil and not criminal ones.
