Bayelsa State Governor Duoye Diri has arrived at the Supreme Court for Justice Mary Ekaego Peter Odili’s retirement court session.
Diri stormed the Apex Court a few minutes after 8 a.m. for the 10 a.m. special court session.
He was seen with his predecessor, Seriake Dickson, and was escorted to court by a retinue of top aides and security personnel.
Recall that Justice Odili handed the momentous verdict that ushered in Governor Diri after the election of Mr David Lyon of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was declared null and void due to irregularities in the names and certificates of his deputy.
At the time of this report, the apex court has been jam-packed with Judges, senior lawyers and government functionaries seeking to honour the eminent jurist on her retirement from Nigeria’s Judiciary.
Also armed security operatives have taken positions in the court premises to prevent security breaches.
