Security operatives have barred the former governor of Anambra, Chukwuemeka Ezeife and other leaders of Ohaneze Ndigbo from gaining access to the courtroom to witness the trial of Nnamdi Kanu.
Gatekeepers News reports that the security operatives who barred Ezeife also barred activist Omoyele Sowore who was dressed in traditional Isi-agu attire.
Approaching the courtroom, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) told them to go back.
In his reaction, Sowore told newsmen that he was at the court for a number of reasons.
He said, “I am here to check the registry because for a while I have not been charged to court, I need to know about my treason case.
“Also I am here to witness the trial of my friend, Nnamdi Kanu, the court is a public space and the public should not be barred from accessing the courtroom.
“People have the right to self-determination, Nigeria has not worked and will never work. So Nnamdi Kanu is not wrong and his trial should not be in secret.
“Security operatives have consistently failed to do their jobs and now you see them harassing journalists and lawyers.
