The Massage was posted at the entrance lon Saturday 20th May 2023, and they started implementing it already.

But after some arguments, the lawyers and guests were allowed to enter with their phones just for today.

But then, the warnings were clearly sounded again:
“Starting from Monday 22nd May 2023, no Phones or Gadgets would be allowed into the Courtroom”.

No Phones at Presidential Election Tribunal Raises Concerns About Live Coverage

“Read me! Phones and other gadgets are not allowed in the courtroom. Thank you as you comply,” a notice on the presidential election petition court door at the Court of Appeal in Abuja reads.

Already, the secretary of the appellate court has announced that beginning Monday, May 22, phones and gadgets would be prohibited during court hearings.

Furthermore, the court stated that it would rule on the possibility of live transmission of the election petition on Monday, but many are doubtful. Reactions on social media suggest that many citizens believe the restriction on phones and gadgets foreshadows the court’s position on a live telecast.

“We are seeking to have live broadcast of the Election Tribunal on TV stations, but the court which we are depending on for that ruling has now banned phones in the court. Which way Nigeria? Why is our judiciary like this?”, Ndi Kato said on Twitter.

Isa Bashir wrote, “This presupposes that they are not likely to be transparent in their dealings. They are not going to allow live transmission of hearing. This is sad that the court is not on the side of the people.

“No need to wait till Monday to deliver judgment on live telecast. The judgment came earlier than thought,” Ezenwka tweeted.

Since the electoral tribunal hearing began, Nigerians have demonstrated a great desire to participate in its proceedings. This can be observed in the manner in which they record and share updates on the hearings, and their interest in the tribunal’s verdict on the Labour Party’s live broadcast petition.

Twitter user Samuel Ajayi stated: “If they won’t allow phones, then they should rule in favour of live broadcast on TV. This is about openness and accountability to the public. This is our case too, and we need to know what is going on.”

Likewise, Chinwe Duruaku-Agu said: “The court should rule in favour of livestreaming then to cushion this.”

Learning of the court’s decision, Alex Anthony, another Twitter user, wrote, “So that means they would rule against live broadcasting of the tribunal. Gradually, we are watching.”

“This is not a good sign. If mobile phones are banned in the PEPT court, it implies the application for live coverage of court proceedings will not be granted, and ultimately, an order from above may determine the judgment that will be delievered…,” added Nwophoke Solomon.

On the other hand, there are some who continue to be hopeful for a positive outcome.

Kolade Rafael, for instance, wrote, “Live broadcasts on TV stations are not phone recordings. They’re two different things; there’s no need to make assertions or assumptions yet.”

“Although the Secretary of the Appeal Court has said there will be no smart phones allowed in court from Monday, it is different from allowing the ‘Media Team’ into the court and streaming live proceedings,” said Rufus Onya.

For now, we are yet to get to the root of this though..

But we are still going to argue it out with them and reach a better agreement on Monday.

**MEANWHILE..
This “Warning” is a clear POINTER that the tribunal is going to rule against Live Steaming and Live Broadcasting of the proceedings..

Very soon the Obi supporters will say it was APC thugs that beat Apapa so they can have an excuse for this.

Why are they so afraid of cameras ?

because Obedient have proven to be immature and unreasonable.
Obedient mobbed Apapa in court premises what message do you think that sends to the judge ... Obedient are security threat as it stands, alive broadcast will only put the judges on duress

Court room is not BBNaija

Amazing , before Peter girigory Obi and his miscreants start to threaten witnesses with death and violence, making mockery of judiciary process

Isn't better they allow gadgets so such incidents will be captured.
This is irrelevant pretext. Nigeria and APC are irredeemably corrupt

Of what good is such incident to the image of the judiciary and country at large ... is it not a mockery of ourselves when the watch people mob an old man inside court premises.

Peter Obi as turn Tribunal to motion grounds where he take selfies and you see lawyers taking selfies upon selfies there attention is more of social media than the case before them sef.

Even BB contestant don't take phones in so they can focus, cameras & phones are huge distraction.

As long as Press are there to witness and write reports that is ok

Criminals always want to hid what they do, because what they do always is illegal!

Little wonder why the West consider every aspect of Nigerian Institution as a criminal organization with one poorly educated idiot dishing out rules that goes against every tenet of civic norm!

Yet, jobless folks like Daniel Oluwatimilehin who graduated since 2002 without a job will be shouting yoruba ronu! Continue beggars!

Are you guys really insane. Oh! cos Obi is in the tribunal, the law should be bent for him? Since 1999 that the tribunal has been handling electoral cases, has any been broadcasted before, has it been done any where in the world, no. Why this despiration. No one I mean know one including Obi and the five criminal and bloodthirsty generals can intimidate the judiciary.

Yes you can go and perch like a fly on the wall, until the Court clerk sprays the Court room with insecticide.

Which LAW exactly are you talking about.??

That something had been done a particular way since eternity, whereas there are many alternatives, yet those alternatives were never Forever explored,, does that mean that there is an established law for other alternatives not to be explored.??


If it becomes highly necessary to explore ALL those OTHER possible ALTERNATIVES,, does that translate to DESPERATION.??

These people always have their likeness for illegality. Because someone is in line with u does not make his assertion legal. How on earth will a normal human being want a presidential election tribunal to be broadcasted live. Don't they think about the safety of the judges? We have desperate people calling themselves obidients, who are ready to ruin many things just to bring home their illegality. Whether they like it or not, Nigeria shall be better

The is serious legal business and must not be trivialised by the losing opposition PDP and the rudderless LP with illegitimate candidate.
