A Federal High Court in Abuja has declined the request by former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode and Afenifere Renewal Group Publicity Secretary Yinka Odumakin for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , Department of State Services and the police from arresting or detaining them.
Fani Kayode and Odumakin had prayed the court for among others, “an order of perpetual injunction restraining the respondents, by themselves, agents, privies or anybody deriving authority from them by whatever name called, from harassing, intimidating, abducting or detaining the applicants.” Justice Tsoho also rejected the applicants’ prayer for an order directing the respondents to tender unreserved public apology to them.
Justice Tsoho however held that since Section 46 of the Constitution allows the filing of anticipatory suit where an individual suspects that his or her rights were about to be breached, he was convinced that there was threat to violate the applicants’ rights.
