Earlier yesterday, a federal high court in Abuja recently highlighted series of new arrangements in respect to nnamdi kanu’s trial on the 8th of April 2022, Oyogist reports.

The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, said media coverage of proceedings is strictly prohibited, “save as may be directed by the court.”

According to Justice Tsoho,

“A person who contravenes an order or direction made under these practice directions shall be deemed to have committed an offence contrary to section 34(5) of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act, 2011 (as amended),” the direction states.

It further reads that “only the judges; other essential court staff and security agencies involved in the particular case and their vehicles shall have access to the court premises.”
