“RED ALERT! Do NOT attend any event that is calling for a ‘March

“I repeat DO NOT Attend this!!! I believe this may be organized

symbolism on it. DO NOT attend!”

including many where she retweets calls for Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey
to remove the ban that was put on Donald Trump’s account after the
Capitol riots on January 6.

himself in the basement of his Alpharetta, Georgia, home over the

On the day of the Capitol riots, Georgia had stayed out past the
6pm curfew after police officers told Trump fans to leave around
7.15pm, court documents showed.
He was charged with attempting to “enter certain property, that
is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the
United States Capitol Police,” the police report states.
Georgia faced a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and/or up to
180 days in jail.
The Trump supporter reportedly worked at the North
Carolina-based banking company BB&T, as a regional portfolio
manager.
Georgia is the sixth person reported dead since MAGA fans broke
into the Capitol building to try to stop Congress from certifying
President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
The Trump supporters who died have been identified as Ashli
Babbitt, 35, Roseanne Boyland, 34, Kevin Greeson, 55,
and Benjamin Phillips, 50. Two Policemen Also Died
The National Association of Judicial Correspondents (NAJUC),
Lagos branch, has appealed to all heads of court, the Chief Justice
of Nigeria, the president, Court of Appeal, the president, National
Industrial Court, the Chief Judge of Federal High Court and Chief
Judges of the 36 states as well as stakeholders in the justice
sector to assist in the provisions of press centres in all the
courts across the country.

The association in a letter to the CJN and other heads of court
across the country, signed by its chairman, Peter Fowoyo, stated
that the rules of the court during the Covid-19 pandemic and the
constraint of space are preventing journalists from effectively
covering the judiciary beat.

According to NAJUC, “while this may not be deliberate on the
part of the judiciary, we must urgently address the issue so as to
preserve the constitutional role of the media viz-a-viz that of the
third arm of government. Now is the time for both to work as
partners in progress for a better society, both working together in
harmony.”
The association further commiserated with the judiciary over
losses incurred during the EndSARS protest where the Lagos Division
of the Court of Appeal, Lagos High Court and the Chief Magistrates
Court, Igbosere were burnt by hoodlums.
“As an association, we remain grateful to the Lagos Division of
the Court of Appeal for providing a press centre, where journalists
from different media organisations converge on a daily basis to
write and file stories to their medium. We thank immensely, the
Deputy Court Registrar, Mrs Rashidat Rasheed, who has always
received us into her office as an association.
“This press centre, unfortunately, refurbished with the sum of
N12 million and commissioned by a representative of the Deputy
Court Registrar (DCR) in October 2019, was among several other
offices and buildings set ablaze by the hoodlums. Some of the items
lost to the inferno include furniture, computers, internet
facility, air conditioners, fridge, television and other valuables,
to mention a few.
“Our courts, in the 21st century are built without press centres
and press galleries for journalists assigned to the judiciary beat.
It is against this backdrop that we appeal to your Lordships to
consider the inclusion of press centres in all the courts across
the country.
“We are not unmindful of your efforts, even in the face of
intimidation and unnecessary interference by the executive arm, to
ensure justice is dispensed without fear or favour, and at an
improved timeframe, notwithstanding the Covid-19 pandemic. We dare
to say, it can be improved upon! Be rest assured of our continued
cooperation and commitment towards a symbiotic relationship that
has hitherto existed between the judiciary and the media,”
judiciary correspondents said.
