A lawyer who came from the United States to defend Nnamdi Kanu said it was the fifth time he had been barred from entering court by security forces on Wednesday.

Mr Bruce Fein alleges that he was the only DSS officer trying to prevent him from participating in the case.

"I am his foreign lawyer and despite assurances that the accused can see all his lawyers but this is the fifth time I have been barred from entering his (Kanu's) presence," he said.

Speaking to reporters shortly after the adjournment, the team of lawyers threatened to change the court because they felt their client would not be treated fairly.

"Based on what we saw today, we do not think this court will do us justice, so we will draw from what we saw today," said one of the lawyers.

The Judge, Binta Nyako adjourned the case to January 19th and 20, 2022.

Iran seeks talks with us after threat of attack – Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump has said that Iranian authorities have contacted the United States to seek talks, following his threat to take military action over the killing of protesters in the country. Trump made the statement while speaking to journalists, saying that a meeting between the two sides has already been planned, but that the United States might take some action before the meeting takes place. Meanwhile, a human rights organization in Iran says it has confirmed the deaths of nearly 500 people since the outbreak of the protests. Likewise, some circulating video clips show a site outside Iran where bodies are being kept, with people going there to search for the remains of their relatives who have gone missing.
