Security
operatives hold dogs as a crowd of people gather at the entrance of the Supreme
Court in Abuja
The police
on Tuesday deployed dogs to control the crowd at the Supreme Court in Abuja,
the nation’s capital.
This comes
as the apex court resumed the hearing of governorship appeals from six states
of the Federation.
The court is
hearing the appeals filed by some governorship candidates in Sokoto, Imo, Kano,
Benue, Bauchi, and Plateau States.
On Monday,
the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, who led a seven-man panel
of justices hearing the appeals suspended the proceedings in the court.
He gave the
order following the inability of the security operatives to control the crowd
and the noise level in the courtroom.
Justice
Muhammad directed counsels representing the parties not to appear with more
than five lawyers, although he allowed the parties in the case to witness the
proceedings.
The police
carried out the CJN’s directive and used dogs to control the crowd in the
process, while the court resumed sitting thereafter.
