Adv Sello SC noted an aborted arrest on June 18, 2020 in respect of docket 543-06-26, and questioned whether it or warrant applications were prompted by Mr Fadiel Adams' arrest by the PKTT.

“I call it the first arrest, and not that there was a second, but I do so to distinguish it from what I call the aborted arrest, the one of June 18th, Yes, June 18th, 2020, ja, thank you. Now, that, the one of June 18th is in respect of docket 543-06-26, the second docket. Now, it was not that arrest or application for those warrants, they were not by any, in any manner, prompted by the arrest of Mr Fadiel Adams by the PKTT, no?”

Adv Johnson confirmed there was no connection between the aborted arrest/warrant application and Mr Fadiel Adams' arrest by the PKTT.

“No.”
