The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, threatened to send Mr Simon Lough, a police prosecutor, to prison for violating an order of the court.
“The exercise of restraint by this court in not dealing with the learned counsel for the complainant/applicant forthrightly is to demonstrate to the learned gentleman that the best of use of power is to restrain”, the judge said. The judge had, however, ordered Adeleke to honour an invitation of the police on May 6 before traveling and restrained the police from arresting him, NAN reports.He was subsequently arraigned in a Magistrate Court in Mpape area of the Federal Capital Territory on a five count charge, bordering on alleged false statement and forgery.
In dismissing the application, Justice Ekwo held that from the submissions of Lough, Adeleke had already traveled which meant that the application was spent.“The issue here is not merely that of granting an injunction over a completed act but whether a party can disobey an order of court and come before the same court, seeking for its discretionary power”.
