The Department of State Services (DSS) on Wednesday complied with the order of a Federal High Court, Abuja, not to block the court premises and environs ahead of trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Justice Binta Nyako, who fixed the sitting at 1 pm, had on January 19 advised the DSS not to take over the security arrangement of the court until 12 pm.
She said this would allow the business of the court not to be grounded.
A check by NAN at the court early in the morning showed that FHC staff, lawyers, litigants, journalists, among others, had free access into the high-rise building and its surroundings.
Nyako had complained that trials of other cases are affected each time Kanu’s trial takes place due to heavy security presence and blockade of roads leading to the court.
She then shifted the terrorism trial till 1 pm to ensure that other cases are accommodated.
