Justice Maryann Anenih of the Federal High Court headquarters in FCT Abuja walked out as supporters of former Governor of Kogi Yahaya Bello who was billed to be arraigned took over the courtroom.
Justice Anenih, who came in to take the plea of the former governor and his co-defendants, rose abruptly and announced not to come back until there was sanity in the courtroom.
Shortly after the judge left the courtroom, Bello who sat in the front of the courtroom stood up and moved to the surging crowd.
He immediately directed his followers and sympathisers to vacate their seats and leave the courtroom.
His actions doused the tension without resistance, as the followers left the courtroom one after the other.
To ensure sanity in the courtroom, the former governor sat at the entrance to the courtroom and ensured that none of his followers disobeyed the order of the court.
Meanwhile, Kemi Pinheiro, SAN is leading the Federal Government legal team for the arraignment while Joseph Dauda, SAN, leads the legal team of the former governor in the 16-count charges.
