Magistrate Yator told those present that the charges would only be read once the accused had calmed down and restored order in the court.
The decision to move the proceedings to chambers was aimed at ensuring the court process could continue in a controlled environment while maintaining order and decorum.
Court officials were seen working to manage the situation as the chanting continued, with security personnel remaining on high alert.
The protesters, who were arrested during demonstrations on Tuesday, appeared defiant as they voiced their chants from the dock, briefly bringing the court session to a standstill.
Their actions drew attention from members of the public and legal representatives present in court.
Magistrate Yator maintained that the court would not proceed with the reading of charges until the accused were quiet and willing to follow court procedure.
Her remarks underscored the importance of maintaining respect for the judicial process, even amid heightened tensions.
The disruption comes a day after the protesters were taken into custody during demonstrations whose details were yet to be fully outlined in court.
Their appearance before the magistrate was expected to mark the formal beginning of the legal process, including the reading of charges and possible plea taking.
However, the chanting delayed the process, forcing the court to adopt an alternative arrangement to continue handling the matter.
Moving proceedings to chambers is often used in situations where order in the main courtroom cannot be maintained.
Legal observers noted that the development reflects the charged emotions surrounding the arrests, with the accused appearing determined to make their grievances known even within the court setting.
