Omoyele Sowore, the #BuhariMustGo activist has been arrested at the Federal High Court Abuja as the court resumed the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

TgNews gathered that security agents picked Sowore up at the court premises during a Facebook Live session on Monday morning.

Kanu, who was earlier extradited into Nigeria from Kenya, is facing terrorism-related charges before Justice Binta Nyako.

Journalists at the entrance to the court were barred by DSS officers from entering the court on the ground that they were not accredited to cover the trial.

The accredited media organisations are Daily Post, ThisDay, Premium Times, The Nation, Daily Independent, The Herald, National Television Authority, Television Continental, African Independent Television and Channels Television.

No reason was given why only 10 media houses were allowed from covering the trial.
