Today in Abuja Bruce Fern Mazi Nnamdi Kanu & Ipob lawyer in USA was bared from withnessing his clients hearing.

He was also denied access to his clients Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, two good times in DSS custody.

My question is, did Nigeria Constitution says that no foreigner can withness court hearing of his client in Nigeria court or stops a foreigner not to defend his Nigerian client in Nigeria court?

Can a Nigerian lawyer travel to London to defend someone before a London Court?

There is something called jurisdiction and a foreign lawyer has zero jurisdiction in a Nigerian Court unless he was called to the Nigerian bar.

That is the same way an ordinary citizen cannot be allowed to defend in you Court.

Quote the section of Nigerian law that explicitly states what you just said.

To be qualified to"defend" a person in any Court in Nigeria, you must have been called to the Nigerian Bar. After obtaining the requisite qualification from a University recognised by the Council of Legal Education.
The Courts are public places and any case that elicits public interest like this Nnamdi Kanu case can be witnessed by any one so long as there would not be any security breached within the confines of that very Court room.
The news coming out of there is still hazy. It needs to be clear what transpired at today's sitting. What I have been reading on am are mere emotional outbursts and doesn't particularly add up "for now".
Thank you

His foreign lawyer was just there to observe. He wasn’t there to defend him.

Also British Envoy was inside the court last time to observe the proceedings.

Did Calling to Nigeria bar also stops foreign lawyer from witnessing hearing of a case court?.

Reread what I wrote but slowing this time. I never made mention of witnessing at any point.

Barring anyone from witnessing any court proceedings is at the sole dispersion of the trail judge and/or security operatives which I am either and as such cannot speak on their behalf

Maybe tomorrow you can visit any court in your location and offer your services to defend those in need of it, since any random person can do that right?

THE SITTING JUDGE HAS THE POWER AND FREEWILL TO DO SO.

Bruce is a thief. Him and supleme thief are eating donations from gullible people. The one he chop is enough. If the people donating the money are too dull to realize it then FG has to chase such callous fiend from making contacted with new victims to continue the eating.

So every riff raff lawyer should be allowed access to court?

How many people do you think the court can accommodate at a particular time?

This is a terrorism case

Witnessing a Court case and defending a client is a way two different things dumbass!

This is not an ordinary Witness. He is listed as a DEFENCE LAWYER. THE COURT INSISTED

You people are trying to be mechievious, have you ever heard that Fein is to defend Kalu in Nigerian Court or do you think you are more intelligent than Kalu legal team, Bruce Fein was not called to Nigerian bar so he can not participate here but he can witness the proceedings, the quoter systems SAN and half baked lawyer malami and her compromised sister Binta Nyako knows that, they just want to act movie but mark my word Na their head the thing will land when

yes

Terrorism charges were levelled against your lord and saviour kanu nnamadi, the monkey, against terrorists every available medium are employed to shield them out of public interference, not to undermine the case

You can prepare your arguments and present it before the trail judge at the next court hearing as she is the one in charge and who made the decision not me.

With this Nigeria is finished, already they know it.

But AGF office says that, London is within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court in Abuja?

I'm referring to the case between Nigeria and Nnamdi Kanu. Nnamdi Kanu said things in London, the AGF said London is within the jurisdiction of the ABJ HC
