The Supreme Court is under tight security as it prepares to deliver judgments in the two appeals by former vice president Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and the candidate of the Labour Party(LP), Mr. Peter Obi seeking to invalidate the election of President Bola Tinubu.
The court complex is surrounded by armed security personnel complimented by a mobile security body scanner strategically mounted at the entrance of the court which everyone has to pass through.
Nobody without an access pass duly issued by the court is allowed to access the court.
Meanwhile, dignitaries already seated in the courtroom for the judgment are the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory(FCT), Nyesom Wike; Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu (who arrived together); the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress(APC); Abdullahi Ganduje.
Others are the National Chairman of Labour Party(LP), Julius Abure and his Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) counterpart, Umar Damagun.
Already the court is seated and judgment in the appeal by Atiku Abubakar is in progress.
