The defendants also decried the use of handcuffs on them even while in court by security officials, an incident which was also brought before the court by counsel to the accused persons.
To this the trial judge Binta Nyako urged security operatives to desist from using handcuff on accused persons inside the courtroom.

1. Fulani herdsmen are killing people everywhere and you want to try me in secret
2. Bastards who not educated and you want to try someone who is learned are you mad?
