BREAKING: Lawyers Denied Entry into Abuja Court for Kanu’s Trial

Some lawyers have been denied access into the Federal High Court, Abuja, where the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) will be held on Monday, F.I.J is reporting.

In a live BBC Pidgin video monitored by FIJ, one of the lawyers condemned the move, saying it was an open court to which every Nigerian lawyer should have unrestricted access.

“A lawyer doesn’t need to show ID card or anything to show that he’s a lawyer,” he said. “It’s an open court. It’s like when you want to go to your shop at Wuse market then someone asks you, ‘Can I see evidence that you own the shop before you can enter?’”
