A federal high court in Abuja has issued an order restraining all parties involved in the suit filed by Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio and three others from speaking to the press about matters related to the case.
Binta Nyako, the presiding judge, issued the order on Friday following a complaint by Kehinde Ogunwumiju, lawyer to Akpabio, that the plaintiff (Akpoti-Uduaghan) had been appearing on various television stations to discuss the ongoing suit.
In a brief ruling, Justice Nyako directed that all parties and their lawyers must refrain from granting press interviews related to the case.
She also prohibited the streaming of court proceedings on social media platforms.
