The group also hailed the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, for his uncommon bravery and courage, in declining to grant the ex-parte application brought by the SSS, seeking to arrest and detain the CBN governor for at least 60 days.

In a ruling delivered by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, who declined the application to grant the order for lack of evidence, absence of authorisation of the President for the application to be brought, and for being an irregular procedure which was unacceptable to the court. The group’s Director, Kingdom Okere, commended Justice Tsoho for standing firm in defence of the rule of law, despite planned intimidation and harassment of the court by the secret police, while stating, “Furthermore, the State Security Services must have known they did not have any credible evidence against the CBN governor but for political and pecuniary reasons, insisted on turning the rule of law upside-down.

The group added that the whole world would be looking forward to the reaction of the President over the recurrent attacks on his promise to deliver credible, free and fair elections come 2023.All rights reserved.
