Description
A panel of five judges sat for a pre-hearing session in a trial involving opposition leaders contesting the February presidential election won by the candidate of ruling All Progressive Congress’s Bola Tinubu at the appeal court in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. A number of protesters have stormed the court to express their concern about the outcome of the election result but were restrained from gaining entrance to the court by security operatives. "We are here calling on the judiciary to give Nigerians justice," says protest leader Orngu Angwu. As the country grapples with widespread insecurity, economic woes and growing poverty, many Nigerians had hoped the presidential ballot would bring about change but many were disappointed by the way the election was conducted.
