Justice Nyako ordered that no party or counsel in the suit should grant media interviews pending the hearing and determination of the case.
“There should be no press interview.by all parties and counsel as regard the subject matter of this case; no streaming or social media post as regard this case.
“There should be no TV interviews as regard this. There should be total media blockage,” the judge held.
On Thursday that the Chief Judge of FHC, Justice John Tsoho, had reassigned the case to Justice Nyako.
