The experts numbering about 12 are combing the courtroom looking for any explosive device and other dangerous weapons.

On arrival, the stern looking security men ordered those in the courtroom out to take effective control of security.

At the time of this report, lawyers, journalists and politicians accredited to enter the courtroom are still outside waiting for the security experts to complete the screening.

Meanwhile, adequate security has been put in place to ward off any threat to peace within and outside the Court of Appeal complex.

All roads leading to the court have been blocked against traffic.

Among the notable politicians around is the immediate past Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo- Agege.

Reading the lead judgment on Wednesday, Justice Haruna Tsammani held that the issues brought before the tribunal are pre-election matters, which ought to have been at a high court.  He added that the timeframe of 180 days within which to determine the issue had elapsed.  “In Alhassan and others versus Ishaku and others, it was held that an election tribunal has no jurisdiction on the primary of a political party,” he said.
