On Friday, April 4, Justice Binta Fatima Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued an order preventing the parties involved in the lawsuit filed by suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and three others from granting press interviews on matters related to the case.
The decision came after a complaint from Akpabio’s lawyer, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), who raised concerns that the plaintiff, Akpoti-Uduaghan, was granting interviews to various television stations about the ongoing legal matter, which is currently before the court.
In her ruling, Justice Nyako stated that no parties, including their lawyers, would be allowed to discuss the case in the media. She also prohibited the live streaming of the court proceedings on social media.
This ruling aims to ensure that the case is not influenced by public statements and remains within the appropriate legal channels.
