A Federal High Court in Abuja has reaffirmed its order, directing the security agencies in the country to protect Murtala Ajaka, Social Democratic Party (SDP)’s candidate in the November 11 governorship election in kogi.
In a ruling today, Justice Inyang Ekwo restated the order in the suit instituted by Ajaka against the Governor Yahaya Bello and others, restraining the defendants from arresting or detaining him pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit
The judge warned that since all the parties had submitted themselves before the court, they should not take steps that would either overreach themselves or jeopardise the trial.
The judge subsequently adjourned hearing until Sept. 21.
Recall Ajaka had filed the suit over alleged threat to his life and members of his family, accusing the defendants of plan to arrest and prosecute him over alleged complicity in terrorism activities in the state.
