FHC/B/CS/110/2016 includes the All Progressive Congress, (APC) Governorship
candidate, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, Attorney General of the state and Commissioner
for Justice, Barrister Henry Idahagbon and the Commissioner of Police, Chris
Ezeki as second and third respondents respectively.
Counsels to the 3rd respondent, Austin Osamede had
pleaded with the presiding Judge for time to properly study the summons and put
up appropriate response since according him he received the Court processes on
Sunday.
The Counsels to the applicant on resuming of hearing appealed to the
court to order the 3th respondent, the Commissioner of Police or any agents
from further harassment and intimation of his client since the matter is before
a federal High Court.
The case was however adjourned to the 6th October, 2016
for further hearing.
Meanwhile, Counsel to the applicant, Barrister Jude Edobor explained to
Journalist that they are in court to enforce the fundamental human right of the
applicant against discrimination, dignity of the human person right to life as
encapsulated in chapter 4 of the 1999 constitution.
“Our client had a different view from the Respondents in this matter
about the primaries that was conducted in the APC governorship primary and
based on that she has been witch-hunted all this while that is why we quickly
dashed to court because we can’t take the law into our hand.
“There is a body that handles such matter and that is why we are here. We
have implicit confidence that we are sure of Justice. Some of the parties are
not in court today while the one in court said they just got their processes
which is the 3rd Respondents which is the police “
