There is tight security at the Federal High Court Abuja as the court sets to continue the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
A large number of security personnel were deployed to the court premises and its surroundings to forestall any breakdown of law and order.
Entrances leading to the court premises were barricaded by a combination of gun-wielding Department of State Services (DSS) operatives, the Army, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence, and men of the Nigerian Police.
At about 8:02 am, a heavily fortified security convoy arrived at the court premises, which appeared to be carrying Kanu.
As at the time of filing this report, journalists, lawyers, and litigants were standing outside the court premises as they were denied entrance.
