Court stops Imo, police from disrupting Rep’s rallies

The Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja has granted an interim injunction restraining the Imo State Government, security agencies, and local government chairmen from interfering with the rallies, meetings, and other civic activities of Imo Ugochinyere, the member representing Ideato North/South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

The court ordered the defendants, including the Nigeria Police Force and Imo State Governor, to refrain from destroying, dismantling, or removing any billboards or signages installed by Ugochinyere across the constituencies. Additionally, the defendants were barred from obstructing Ugochinyere and his supporters from using venues for peaceful rallies, processions, campaigns, and meetings within the constituency or other parts of Imo State.

The injunction was issued following an ex parte application filed by Ugochinyere's counsel, Chizubor Ezike, and became effective immediately.
