Thugs have invaded the Edo State High Court in Benin to disrupt the pre-hearing session over the validity of the September 21 governorship election results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Security agents blocked the court entrance in response, and mounted a roadblock on the route leading to the court.
