Both officials of the two agencies threatened to shoot themselves over who should take charge of security at the court’s entrance.

As at the time of this report, both EFCC and NCoS would now have to clear journalists before gaining access to the court.

They, however, stopped some journalists from gaining access into the courtroom, saying the courtroom was filled up.

Malami, his son, Abdullaziz, and one Asabe Bashir were standing trial over allegation of fraud.
