Justice Binta Fatima Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has prohibited parties involved in the lawsuit filed by suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio and three others from granting press interviews regarding the case.
The ruling came on Friday after Akpabio’s lawyer, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), raised concerns that the plaintiff had been making media appearances, discussing matters related to the ongoing litigation.
In a brief ruling, Justice Nyako ordered that neither the parties nor their legal representatives should speak to the media about the case. She also banned the streaming or live coverage of the court proceedings on social media.
