A Federal Capital Territory High Court judge,
Justice Valentine Ashi, on Wednesday ordered
security agents, including the police and
operatives of the Department of State Service, to
confiscate the latest book of ex-President
Olusegun Obasanjo, My Watch.
The judge of the FCT Wuse Zone II court said
the publication of the book, which was presented
to the public on Tuesday in Lagos, contravened
the order of the court restraining the publication.
Justice Ashi also gave Obasanjo 21 days within
which to explain why he should not be punished
for flouting the court order.
He ordered that the enrolled orders of the court
be served on all media houses in the country and
be equally served on the defendant by
publication in two national daily newspapers.
The judge held, “I hold the defendant not only in
contempt of the court, but to show cause why
he should not be punished for contempt and
ordered to undo what he has wrongly done.
