Tight Security As Nnamdi Kanu Goes To Court

Tight security was on Wednesday morning mounted at the Federal High Court, Abuja, ahead of the arraignment of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) had, on Oct. 21, reported heavy deployment of security personnel in and around the court premises when the case came up before the adjournment to November 10.

Similarly, a large number of security personnel were deployed to the court premises and its surroundings on Wednesday to forestall security breach.

Entrances leading to the court premises were barricaded by a combined detachment of armed officers of Department of State Services (DSS) operatives, the Army, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence and the Nigerian Police.
