The court issued restraining orders against the DSS, Police, and the Kogi State governor, prohibiting them from inviting, arresting, detaining, or endangering the life and property of the gubernatorial candidate until a lawsuit he filed against them is heard and resolved.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed presided over the case, responding to an ex-parte application presented by Sammie Somiari (SAN) on behalf of the ADC governorship candidate.
The court’s ruling also mandated the DSS, Police, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) to safeguard the politician’s properties in Abuja, Kogi State, and across the nation for the duration of these orders.
The ex-parte motion, labeled FHC/ABJ/CS/1248/2023, was initiated by the governorship candidate to assert his fundamental rights to life, dignity of person, personal liberty, fair hearing, peaceful assembly, and association, among others, as outlined in the Nigerian Constitution and relevant human rights laws.
Abejide alleged that since he became a governorship candidate and began his campaign, Governor Yahaya Bello had shown signs of unease, issuing threats and attempting to have him arrested to hinder his participation in the November 11, 2023 governorship election. The politician from Kogi West, who recently served in the House of Representatives, claimed that Governor Bello’s ultimate goal was to harass, intimidate, threaten, and eliminate him from the electoral race, ensuring the victory of his favored candidate from the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Following arguments presented by the senior lawyer and the submission of supporting evidence, Justice Mohammed issued restraining orders against the respondents, ensuring that the applicant would not face arrest, detention, or harassment pending the resolution of his main lawsuit. The judge further ordered the 2nd to 8th respondents to provide maximum security to the applicant in various locations across Nigeria during the pendency of the substantive lawsuit and instructed the applicant to serve all relevant legal documents on the respondents.
