Edo State Government Accuses APC and Labour Party of Plotting Court Intimidation
In a shocking development, the Edo State Government has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Labour Party of mobilizing mobs to besiege the Benin High Court on Monday, with the intention of intimidating lawyers and judges on official duties.
According to Edo State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, and Special Adviser to Governor Godwin Obaseki, the parties are planning to disrupt the court proceedings. The accusations were made during a press briefing in Benin, the capital city of Edo State.
The government’s claim comes as a surprise, as it is unusual for political parties to resort to such tactics. The Benin High Court is a respected institution, and any attempt to intimidate its officials could have far-reaching consequences.
The Edo State Government has urged the public to remain calm and peaceful, while also calling on the parties involved to desist from such actions. The government has also promised to take necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of the court and its officials.
This development has sparked concerns about the rule of law and the integrity of the judiciary in Nigeria. The situation is being closely monitored, and the international community is watching with interest.
