A Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has granted an order restraining Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki and Edo government from enforcing a directive that all residents who have not taken COVID-19 vaccines will be prevented from accessing churches, mosques, banks, event centres and other public places from the middle of September.
Roll cap: Justice Stephen Pam granted the order as prayed while ruling on fundamental human rights suit filed by Charles Osaretin, against the Governor and five others
In his argument Osaretin’s lead counsel, Echezona Etiaba, SAN, urged the court to order parties to maintain status quo pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice, for the enforcement of the applicant’s fundamental human rights and for the leave of court to serve the respondents by publishing the court’s processes in a national daily newspaper circulating in Nigeria.
The court adjourned the matter till September 10 for a hearing of the substantive motion.
