#LiveBroadcastinthecourtroom is trending on Twitter after a ruling by the Presidential Election Petition Court dismissed the application by the opposition parties that requested a live telecast of the proceedings.
Checks on Twitter show the hashtag garnered close to 10,000 tweets barely an hour after the ruling.
Tweeps on the micro-blogging portal have reacted angrily to the ruling and are calling for a change. Some others believe the ruling denies Nigerians the opportunity to follow the case keenly.
Meanwhile, there are reports that persons attending the seating can go to court with their phones.
Recall that the Presidential Election Petition Court on Monday dismissed the application seeking to allow the day-to-day telecast of the ongoing election petitions proceedings.
The five-man panel led by Justice Haruna Tsammani dismissed the request which was made by the aggrieved parties and candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party as lacking in merit and rejected it.
