The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Abuja, has issued another order to the police to either charge or immediately release Chike Ibezim, who has been in month-long detention over an alleged malicious publication posted online against the immediate-past Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola.
The court issued the fresh order on Friday (9 September), restating the one it earlier issued on 30 August for the release of the detainee.
“The order dated 30 August 2023 is explicit; it is unambiguous and very clear in its terms,” the judge, Olueymisi Adelaja, sitting in the Kubwa division of the court, declared on Friday.
She frowned on what she described as the police’s “act of disobedience of the order of this court”.
The judge noted that the police acted in disobedience “by varying the bail conditions”, adding that “the act of disobedience of the express orders of the court is unacceptable.”
