Operatives of the Department of State Services have been deployed to the premises of the Federal High Court, Maitama in Abuja, ahead of the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
The IPOB leader has been brought before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja over nine charges bordering on terrorism, treasonable felonies, among others.
Armed officers with detachment of hooded were spotted at the entrance of the Federal High Court with motorbikes and vehicles preventing human and vehicular movements into the area.
Naija News had earlier reported that the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, warned members of the IPOB not to show up at the court hearing on Monday.
Also, people in various hotels in the area are being prevented from moving in and out as the officers insisted that they were on a special operation in the area and appealed to them for understanding.
