Videos Of Tinubu Saying He Accepts Criticism Shake Up Proceedings In Sowore's Trial As Witness Deji Adeyanju Concludes Testimony

However, the videos could not be played at the previous sitting because the courtroom lacked television screens. At Monday's resumed hearing, the videos were finally played before the court.

Proceedings at the Federal High Court Abuja on Monday took an unexpected turn after videos in which President Bola Tinubu said he does not mind being criticised or called names were played in open court during the cybercrime trial of human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.

Justice Musa G. Umar appeared unsettled during portions of the proceedings as human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, responded to questions during cross-examination by the prosecution counsel, A.T. Kehinde, SAN.

Adeyanju, who began his testimony last week, had relied on four video clips tendered as Exhibits DB "A" and "B."

However, the videos could not be played at the previous sitting because the courtroom lacked television screens. At Monday's resumed hearing, the videos were finally played before the court.
