Addeh, who instituted the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/123/2020 before a Federal High Court, Abuja said a complete ban on political rallies and demonstrations, violated his fundamental rights.
He is, therefore, praying the court for an order of perpetual injunction, restraining the respondents and its men, officers, and agents from restricting any and all persons from freely associating with one another for lawful purposes including political reasons. Addeh stated that Obaseki’s proclamation of December 13, 2019, banning all political activities and rallies not held within his constitutional powers was akin to illegality taking away freedom of association in the state, which contravened the constitution.
