Saraki, Ekweremadu’s Supporters Clash With Journalists Over Images

A mild drama played out at the Federal Capital
Territory, FCT, High Court sitting in Jabi on Monday
as some loyalists of those standing trial attempted
to prevent reporters from taking photographs of the
accused persons.

The supporters used sheets of newspapers to block
the front of the pressmen’s camera in an attempt to
stop them from taking photographs of the accused.
This led to a heated argument between the
reporters and the alleged loyalists.

The incident happened shortly after Justice Yusuf
Halilu stood down the matter of alleged forgery of
senate rule in 2015.

Saraki alongside his deputy and the former clerk
had earlier pleaded not guilty to the two count
charge.
