There was drama at the Lagos Federal High Court yesterday, when journalists were sent out of the courtroom during the trial of alleged 17 members of Boko Haram.

One of the security men threatened to arrest some of the journalists, should they fail to vacate the courtroom.

Also, when the Boko Haram case was called, some of the lawyers were ordered out of the courtroom due to the small size of the room.

However, the arraignment of the suspected Boko Haram members, which had suffered two adjournments on October 2 and 9, due to lack of interpreter and the absence of the trial judge, respectively, could not go on yesterday.

This was beacause the first to fifth accused persons namely (Ali Mohammed, Adamu Karumi, Ibrahim Usman, Bala Haruna, Idris Ali) did not have legal representation.

The case was adjourned till November 27, 2013 by the presiding judge, Musa Kurya.
