They further insisted that the petition should be ignored because the court house “is not a rostrum or a soapbox. It is not also a stadium or theatre. It is not an arena for ‘public’ entertainment.”

Reacting to the situation via Twitter, Shehu Sani noted that the judiciary decision will be seen as part of the tribunal’s outcome.
