Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, dismissed a suit filed by the suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Adamawa State, Hudu Yunusa-Ari, seeking protection against arrest, detention or prosecution by the police and others.
Yunusa-Ari had in the suit filed by his lawyer, Jibrin Okutepa (SAN), prayed an order of perpetual injunction, restraining the police and other security agents from arresting or detaining him for carrying out his lawful duties as the REC in Adamawa during the supplementary governorship election held in the state on April 15, 2023.
He also sought an order directing the respondents to publish an apology in two national dailies for the unlawful and unconstitutional media trials and negative press interviews, press statements, social media posts, and publications against him for carrying out his lawful duties in the state.
