The highly anticipated judgment in a case involving the Federal Government and Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is currently underway in Abuja.
The Department of State Services (DSS) is seen littered everywhere at the Supreme Court premise.
It was gathered that the crucial judgment is scheduled to be delivered by the apex court this morning.
However, in a bid to ensure tight security, the DSS operatives stormed the premises of the Court on Friday morning, blocking the road leading to the Court and the Villa gate, preventing litigants and sympathizers of the self-proclaimed IPOB leader from gaining access.
Journalists accredited by the Supreme Court and possessing official tags were turned away from entering the court premises and all together barred but were latter given access after persuasions.
The Supreme Court had, on October 5, slated today to deliver its judgment on the appeal that is seeking to compel the Federal Government to release the embattled leader of IPOB from detention.
A five-member panel of the apex court headed by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun okayed the matter for judgment, after counsel for both parties adopted their final briefs of argument. The Judges final judgment is being awaited.
