The Bola Ahmed Tinubu legal team in the ongoing Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has barred media interviews throughout the defense of their client in the three petitions filed against his victory.
The position of the team was relayed to the court by Adeniyi Akintola (SAN) during Tuesday’s proceeding.
Akintola said that it was the decision of the team that any lawyer that flouts the ban, no matter his rank or how highly placed, would be kicked out of the defense team.
He, however, did not disclose any reason 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.
The panel led by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani, however did not react to the decision when it was presented in open court.
