Mrs. Favour Kanu, a sister-in-law to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has been stopped from publishing live videos of court proceedings.
The order was issued by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The judge barred Favour for covering the proceedings and sharing it on her social media platform.
Favour was barred for three subsequent sittings of the court, and was let go with a warning due to the appeal of the defence lawyer, Kanu Agabi.
Before handing out his decision, the judge invited Favour, said to be the wife of Nnamdi Kanu ‘s brother, to the front of the court and asked her what informed her action.
Favour said she was streaming what was happening in the court live, but did not know that the judge was still sitting.
She apologised and promised not to do same again.
