Many interested Ghanaians joined the virtual hearing of the immigration case involving former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta in the US.
However, lawyers of the embattled former public official immediately requested that the hearing be done in-camera.
This request was quickly acceded to, forcing all those who had logged online taken offline.
The hearing is at the Annandale Immigration Court in Virginia.
The former Finance Minister joined from detention at the Caroline Detention Center.
He was picked up by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the expiration of his visa.
The case was adjourned to Monday, April 27.
