A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Monday, gave an order restraining former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Dame Pauline Tallen, from holding any public office unless she apologises publicly for disrespecting the court within 30 days.
The President of the court, Justice U.P. Kekemeke, in his ruling, said the injunction would become perpetual if Tallen who served under former President Muhammadu Buhari, refused to apologise within the time frame given by the court.
The one-time deputy governor of Plateau State had, got into trouble in 2022 when she reportedly described the decision of the Federal High Court in a suit between current National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), as “a kangaroo judgment that should be rejected by well-meaning Nigerians.”
