The State Security Service (SSS) on Wednesday, complied with the order of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, on blocking the court’s premises and environs ahead of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu’s trial.

Trial judge Binta Nyako, who fixed today’s sitting at 1:00 p.m., had ordered the SSS officers to inform their office about the blockade.

Although Mrs Nyako did not specifically make an order, directing the SSS to stop the siege, she said this would allow the business of the court not to be grounded.

A check at the court early in the morning showed that FHC staff, lawyers, litigants, journalists, among others, had free access into the high-rise and its surroundings.
