President's Counsel Dulendra Weerasuriya has made the request, urging the court to permit Senadhipathi to visit Nigeria, for the purpose of training Nigerian soldiers, which in return is a source of income to the country.

At the present, the CID is conducting a probe against Senadheera over the floating amoury discovered aboard the ship MV Mahanuwara.

IP B. Wijedasa of the CID informed the courts that there is a possibility of Senadheera evading the CID if he is named as a suspect of the case.

However, Mr. Senadhipathi's lawyers say that their client has not been named as a suspect so far.
