A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit that sought the arrest, probe and prosecution of the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof George Obiozor and other leaders of the group over alleged contempt.

Justice Ekwo said, after a thorough evaluation of the processes filed by the applicant, he found that it failed to establish a prima facie case to warrant the grant of the reliefs sought. The applicant, in the suit which had the Inspector General of Police and Attorney General of the Federation as respondents, claimed that while it was duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission , the group with a similar name, led by Obiozor and others was unregistered.

“In my opinion, where such prayer is sought, it must be demonstrated with concrete evidence that those sought to be arrested, investigated and prosecuted have committed criminal offence known to law.
