BREAKING: Masked DSS Operatives Take Over Court Ahead Of Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial [PHOTOS]—-The Genius Media Nigeria reports that a group of heavily armed DSS operatives have surrounded the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja ahead of the court appearance of Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB
This reliable platform had reported that Kanu is standing trial before Justice Binta Nyako for charges bordering on terrorism, treasonable felony, illegal possession of arms, among others levelled against him by the Nigerian government.
A detachment of hooded armed officers was seen stationed at the entrance of the court with motorbikes and vehicles preventing human and vehicular movements into the area.
The operatives took over the surroundings of the court and the Ministry of Justice building, down to Abia State Government’s liaison office, preventing people from accessing the area.
Those who lodged in hotels in the area were prevented from moving in and out of the hotels as the officers insisted that they were on a special operation in the area and appealed to them for understanding.
The situation, however, led to an altercation as some affected persons engaged the operatives and insisted on going to their hotel rooms.
It is not clear if the operatives will allow those working in the area to have access to their offices on Monday.
Meanwhile, supporters of the detained IPOB leader have vowed to storm the court to show solidarity with their leader.
Kanu has been in DSS custody since he was abducted in Kenya and extradited to Nigeria, after his brief appearance before Justice Binta Nyako on June 30.
