The legal team to the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has placed a ban on interviews in the ongoing Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).
The legal team placed the ban on media interviews throughout the defence of their client 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.
No reason was however, given as to why the ban was adopted.
He said that the same ban has been extended to the president-elect himself, 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.
