The Oyo State High Court has ordered the extension of the injunction restraining the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Department of State Services , their agents or privies from arresting Sunday Igboho till September 17, 2021.
At the resumption of proceedings, counsel to the AGF, Abdulahi Abubakar, urged the court to set aside the August 4, 2021 injunction restraining the first defendant, AGF.He said his motion was based on four grounds supported with a five-paragraph affidavit in response to counter-affidavit. He, therefore, implored the court to disregard the counter-affidavit and written address as well as setting aside subsequent extension of the interim injunction order filed by the applicant.
Alliyu argued that the application filed by counsel to the AGF was not properly filed before the court as it was brought outside the seven days stipulated by Order 4 Rule 6 of the Fundamental Human Rights Procedure Rule 2009.He stated that their reply on point of law was an admission that they were not within time, adding that as at present, there was no motion for the extension of time by them.
