Dr Awemeri Festus Akande, the Supreme Court’s Director of Press and Information, confirmed the situation on Wednesday.

He stated that suitable security measures have been put in place to prevent security breaches both inside and outside the courthouse.

A 7-man panel of Justices of the Court led by Justice John Inyang Okoro had on Monday taken final arguments from lawyers to parties in the petitions.

The Justices thereafter reserved their judgments.
