Judges of the Kano governorship election tribunal are not
physically in court.
The tribunal is set to deliver judgment in a petition filed
by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to challenge the victory of Governor
Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
Journalists, lawyers, party members and many others were
denied access into the court.
The Secretariat said there
would be no live broadcast of the judgment and that the few journalists
admitted into the court would not make use of smartphones or cameras.
Top security officials had earlier disclosed that
they did not know the whereabouts of the judges and that it was possible that
the proceeding would be virtual.
When the proceedings commenced before 10, Justice Oluyemi
Akintan-Osadebay, Chairman of the three-member panel, spoke via Zoom.
