According to Punch;
A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Wuse
Zone II, Abuja, has granted an order restraining
former President Olusegun Obasanjo from going
on with plans to publish or have someone
publish on his behalf, his new autobiography
titled, ‘My Watch.’
Request for the order was made by a member of
the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State,
Buruji Kashamu, in an ex parte application.
Justice Valentine Ashi made the order on Friday
as he agreed with Kashamu’s lawyer, Alex Iziyon
(SAN), that part of the content of the book
related to the subject matter of the N20bn libel
suit instituted by the PDP chief against former
President Obasanjo.
The court restrained the former President from
publishing the book, pending the determination of
the libel suit instituted against him.
The content of the book was said to be related
to a letter dated December 2, 2013, written by
Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan,
claiming that Kashamu was wanted for drug-
related crime in the United States of America.
