Justice Maryann Anenih left the courtroom out of anger Wednesday when supporters of former Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello stormed the court.
Justice Maryann Anenih, billed to take the plea of the former governor and two others, rose abruptly and announced not to come back until there was sanity in the courtroom.
Bello who was billed to be arraigned at the FCT High Court had to take over crowd control.
Shortly after the Judge left the court room, Yahaya Bello, who sat in front of the court room, got up and moved to the surging crowd.
He immediately directed his followers and sympathisers to vacate their seats and leave the court room.
His actions doused the tension as without resistance, the followers left the court room one after the other.
To ensure sanity in the court room, the former governor sat at the entrance to the court room and ensured that none of his followers disobeyed the order of the court.
All his aides and followers patiently obeyed his instructions and left the court one after the other.
Kemi Pinheiro SAN is leading the Federal Government’d legal team for the arraignment while Joseph Bodunde Dauda, SAN is leading the legal team of the former governor in the 16-count charges.
