Reported by The Nation, a stringent security protocol has been put in place. A mobile body scanner is stationed at the court's entrance, ensuring that everyone passes through. Notably, armored personnel carriers (APCs) were absent from the court's premises.
Moreover, only individuals with clearance tags are permitted to enter the court building, as a select group of journalists is slated to cover the proceedings. Fortunately, there are no restricted areas or blocked lanes for pedestrians and motorists in the vicinity, ensuring a smooth flow of traffic around the Three Arms Zone, where the Supreme Court, Aso Rock Villa, and National Assembly are located.
