Court To Give Judgement On Ojukwu's Son Suit Against Bianca

JUSTICE Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Lagos, Monday said he would deliver judgment on the application filed by one Chief Debe Ojukwu, over alleged breach of his fundamental human rights on January 10, 2014.

The applicant, who claims to be the first son of the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, filed the suit on October 5, 2012, seeking an order of court restraining 10 respondents from threatening his life.

The respondents are Prof. Joseph Ojukwu, Emmanuel Ojukwu, Lotanna Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu, Patrick Ojukwu, Patricia Ojukwu and Margaret Ojukwu.

Others are the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Assistant Inspector General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Muktar and Deputy Commissioner of Police Anambra State, Mr. Mike Okoli.

At the last hearing, counsel representing second to eight respondents, Chief George Uwechue (SAN), informed the court that he had filed a counter-affidavit and written address in response to the applicant’s processes, which he said, had been served on the applicant and prayed the court to allow him make some amendment.

Abang granted the prayers of Uwechue and adjourned the case for hearing on the applicant’s substantive application and subsequently fixed the judgment date after listening to argument of parties to the suit.
