The Legal Team to the President elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the ongoing Presidential Election Petition Court PEPC has placed a ban on media interview throughout the defense of the President elect in the three petitions against him.
The legal team ordered that any lawyer that flouts the ban, no matter his rank or how highly placed, would be kicked out of the defense team.
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria SAN, Adeniyi Akintola conveyed the decision of the team to the court at the Tuesday’s proceedings.
Akintola did not adduce any reason on why the ban was adopted.
He said that the same ban has been extended to their client and President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The senior lawyer said that the ban on media interview by the legal team would be strictly observed and enforced.
Chairman of the Court, Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani however did not react to the decision when presented in the open court.
