Nnamdi Kanu has arrived the court premises for the beginning of his mystery trial in the midst of substantial security.
Kanu was transported to court in an encased Hilux van while an open Hilux with jail officers took after nearly.
In the interim, Nigerian columnists have been kept from getting access into the court premises to cover the trial of Nnamdi Kanu.
A portion of the writers who landed at the court premises told us that they were at the scene as ahead of schedule as 7.30 am.
"We have been here since 7.30 am and they said we can not go in there unless we have the Federal High Court label," Abraham Achida, a photojournalist said.
At the point when we asked from the security officer (wearing mufti), he said the Federal High Court labels were required by every one of the individuals who might need to get entrance into the court today.
In the interim, columnists said for more than two years they have connected for the labels with no move made by the court on the matter.
"I have connected three circumstances since 2015, no activity on the press card and now they need to rebuff us for their laxity," another writer said.
Be that as it may, as opposed to the case by the security agent, we watched a few people and even writers without the said labels were permitted in court.
At the point when inquired as to why chose people were permitted entrance while others were being denied, he however gave no pertinent motivation behind why a few people without labels were permitted and others denied get to.
In any case, columnists were permitted to cross the court after the denounced arrives were denied access into the fundamental court.
