A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Adeniyi Akintola, conveyed the decision of the team to the court at Tuesday’s proceedings.
Akintola did not adduce any reason why the ban was adopted.
He said that the same ban has been extended to Tinubu.
The senior lawyer said that the ban on media interviews by the legal team would be strictly observed and enforced.
