interim injunction restraining the Chief of Army Staff,
his privies, agents and servants from arresting,
detaining, harassing or intimidating Bola Ahmed
Tinubu pending the determination of the motion on
notice.
Bola Tinubu had approached the court on March
25th through his lawyer, Femi Falana seeking the
enforcement of his fundamental human rights.
In the restraining order granted by Presiding Judge,
J.T. Tsoho, the interim injunction also barred the
Chief of Army Staff or his privies, agents and servants
from further laying siege on the home of Bola Tinubu
situated at number 26, Bourdillon Street, Ikoyi.
Furthermore, the military or its agents are restrained
from preventing him from participating in the 2015
general elections.
The determination of the motion on notice in the
matter between Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the Chief of
Army Staff was moved to March 31st. In the past 2
weeks, news of the planned arrest of Tinubu had
circulated in the media. Despite denials by the
government, no one believes them.
