Harassment: Court orders army to pay LG chair, two others N20m damage

The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Abayomi Olonisakin accompanied by the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Abubakar Sadique and Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibot-Ette Ibas, on Saturday paid an operational visit to the Theatre Command in Maiduguri.A High Court in Rivers State on Monday ordered the Nigerian Army to pay the sum of N20 million to the Chairman of Akuku-Toru Local Government Area, Roland Sekibo, and two other persons.

Describing the actions of the military as anti-democratic, the presiding judge, Justice George Omereji, said it was wrong for the military to issue a statement indicting the council chairman and two others without granting them a fair hearing. “The court granted all the prayers we sought and condemned in clear terms the involvement and actions of the military in the electoral process. The sum of N20 million was awarded in favour of all the applicants against the military.
