The former vice-president had said televising the proceedings will enhance public confidence.

Arguing the motion, Chris Uche, counsel for Atiku and the PDP, said, “There is no single legislative or statutory position against it.”

He said a live broadcast does not necessarily mean the faces of the justices would be shown.
