Presidential Election Tribunal: Tight security for Atiku, Obi’s legal battle against Tinubu

Workers were advised not to come to work on Wednesday due to the heavy presence of security operatives around the court premises, as indicated in a memo sent to them.

Lawyers and litigants may undergo security checks before entering the courtroom, and access to the premises will be tightly controlled. Numerous agents were observed at strategic locations across the city.

To prevent any potential unrest, major roads leading to the Court of Appeal will be barricaded by the police before the proceedings begin. Acting Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, has instructed all police commands and formations to secure major hotspots within their jurisdictions to prevent any disturbances.

In preparation for possible post-judgment developments, the police have implemented necessary security measures and emphasized their commitment to maintaining order while respecting citizens’ rights and freedoms.

The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumiyiwa Adejobi, urged caution among “mischief makers and political gladiators” in their actions and statements, emphasizing the importance of peace and calm for a secure environment.

As the nation awaits the verdict, supporters of both Atiku and Obi expressed their hopes for a favorable outcome on social media, while emphasizing the significance of a peaceful resolution.
