The court has invited uniformed London Metropolitan police officers to sort out Mr. Ibori's hired supporters.
There was an rowdy standoff when court staff ordered people to go back, then open hallway and wait till their name was called from a list, but Ibori's supporters refused as the list had been written by someone in front of the queue and he apparently included names of people who had not queued up as requested by the court staff. Some pushed forward and had to be forcibly removed from court, then uniformed officers were called to handle the situation as it appeared that one of Ibori's supporters shoved a prosecutor.
There was lots of shouting from a uniformed cops as at the time of filing this report.
