Court Stops Obasanjo From Publishing Autobiography by enifex(m): 3:02am On Dec 08, 2014
A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Wuse
Zone II, Abuja, has granted an order restraining
former President Olusegun Obasanjo from
going
on with plans to publish or have someone
publish on his behalf, his new autobiography
titled, ‘My Watch.’
Request for the order was made by a member
of
the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State,
Buruji Kashamu, in an ex parte application.
Justice Valentine Ashi made the order on
Friday
as he agreed with Kashamu’s lawyer, Alex
Iziyon
(SAN), that part of the content of the book
related to the subject matter of the N20bn libel
suit instituted by the PDP chief against former
President Obasanjo.
The court restrained the former President from
publishing the book, pending the determination
of
the libel suit instituted against him.
The content of the book was said to be related
to a letter dated December 2, 2013, written by
Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan,
claiming that Kashamu was wanted for drug-
related crime in the United States of America.
Iziyon had argued on Friday that since part of
the content of the autobiography related to the
December 2, 2013 letter, which is the subject
matter of the libel suit, it was wrong for
Obasanjo to be allowed to proceed to
comment
on, write books about or make publications on
the issue yet to be decided by the court.
Justice Ashi, in his ruling, restrained Obasanjo
from either publishing the book or have it
published on his behalf by anybody, pending
the
determination of the main suit.
