Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, who was billed to be arraigned at the FCT High Court on Wednesday, took over crowd control in the courtroom when Justice Maryann Anenih left out of anger.
Justice Anenih, who was supposed to take the plea of the former governor and two others, abruptly rose and announced she would not return until there was sanity in the courtroom.
Shortly after the judge left, Yahaya Bello, who had been sitting in the front of the courtroom, jumped up and moved toward the surging crowd.
He immediately directed his followers and sympathisers to vacate their seats and leave the courtroom.
His actions helped douse the tension, as his followers left the courtroom one after another without resistance.
To ensure order, the former governor sat at the entrance of the courtroom and made sure none of his followers disobeyed the court’s order
