The lawyer noted that the officer was contravening the law by carrying the firearm to court.
In August 25, 2017 the Judiciary directed that only police officers deployed in the court premises be armed.
”Kindly note that apart from police officers who are deployed at the courts, no other persons shall be allowed to access our premises with firearms.”
