A Federal High Court, sitting in Lagos, Monday, barred the Chairman of the Lagos Parks and Garages, Musliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, from distributing election materials in Lagos.
Presiding Judge, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke, granted the prayer of the Labour Party, LP, seeking an order to bar the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from using Oluomo.
“It is in interest of justice to restrain the INEC from taking any step or further steps that may foist a fait acompli on the honour respect of the substantive suit.”
“I have listened to the submission of counsel and also perused the motion with affidavit of urgency and grounds for the application. I found merit in the application. The order of interlocutory injunction is hereby granted,” the Judge held.
There has been controversy over the involvement of Oluomo in the forthcoming polls as he is suspected to be close to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
