Journalists were prevented from covering Tuesday’s proceedings of the illicit drug trial of Abba Kyari, a suspended deputy commissioner of police, and others at Court 10 of the Federal High Court, Abuja, venue of the proceeding.
The lawyer prayed the court that other lawyers, litigants, and visitors, including journalists, who were in the court should not be allowed to be in the courtroom while the hearing lasted. “I am embarrassed by the application my lord,” the lawyer said of Mr Joseph’s application that everyone not connected to Mr Kyari’s case, including lawyers and journalists be cleared out of the courtroom.
When asked about his reaction to the opinions of other lawyers in court, Mr Joseph said “There is a doctrine of state privilege in the interest of national security.”
