Mr Tsoho said even though it was challenging, the court could not prevent the situation often created by Nnamdi Kanu's trial.

The Federal High Court in Abuja is considering changing the venue of the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra , to address the challenges it poses for court staff and other activities of the court.

Mr Tsoho, who said the court was working on a long-term solution to the problem, lamented the restrictions security agents had to put in place during the trials. He described the road blockage and tight security measures put in place during the trial as a worrisome development for the courts, lawyers, and litigants, as other courts presided by other judges cannot function anytime the case comes up.“It is not truly the making of the court,” Mr Tsoho said, adding that the security arrangement was something that had been “forced upon the court as a necessary action due to the high number of people interested the trial.

After the hearing of the application, which was opposed by the federal government’s prosecuting team, the judge fixed April 8 for ruling.
