Judges presiding over the presidential election petition tribunal stated on Tuesday that security agencies’ advisories were the basis for prohibiting using smartphones and other electronic devices during proceedings.

The tribunal chairman, Justice Haruna Tsammani, said the decision was to ensure the safety and security of stakeholders, stating that “with the latest technology, a small chip can set everyone here ablaze.”

Although loosely enforced, the lead judge pleaded with the senior lawyers to persuade their juniors to obey the court’s directives.

Nonetheless, according to Mr Tsammani, the court understands and appreciates the concerns of stakeholders, especially the lawyers.

On Monday, the tribunal ruled that it would not allow a live telecast of the tribunal proceedings because there was no basis, whether, in law or judicial procedure, the court could rely on to grant the application.

The embarrassing show of shame by the uncouth mob of Mr Obi attacking the National Chairman of Labour Party, Pa Lamidi Apapa was a serious indictment on the security agencies.

The Intel failed, security officers were caught unawares and shown in distress was enough proof that the 'terrorist attack ' on the court was pre planned to be recorded and posted online.

Unfortunately, not Pa Lamidi but the judiciary, Judges and court Security agents ended up being distracted and disgraced in the video.

No serious court or security agencies will risk a repeat of such security breach.

I quite agree with the security agencies. Lives of stakeholders must be protected against nitwits who attack anyone with opinions contrary to theirs.

An old man was beaten and dragged on the ground right within court premises because of his opinion, our courts and security agencies shouldn't allow that to continue.
