ABUJA – Justice Binta Fatima Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order restraining parties in the lawsuit filed by suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio and three others from granting press interviews on the matter.
The ruling, delivered on Friday, followed a complaint by Akpabio’s counsel, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), who informed the court that the plaintiff had been making media rounds, discussing issues related to the case.
In a brief ruling, Justice Nyako directed that no party, including their legal representatives, shall make public comments or grant media interviews concerning the ongoing case. The restriction aims to prevent external influences and ensure the integrity of the judicial process.
The case, which remains pending before the court, involves legal disputes between Akpoti-Uduaghan and Akpabio, alongside three other defendants. Further details on the proceedings are expected to unfold within the confines of the courtroom.
