Court Orders Obasanjo to Show Cause Why He Should Not Be Committed To Prison by tkconcept(m): 4:44pm On Dec 10, 2014
I was in court 30 of FCT today when upon application by Iziyon SAN, the FCT High court made an order restraining former president Obasanjo from publishing or distributing his new book 'My Watch'. The court further ordered the police, SSS, Civil Defence and custom service to seize any copy of the book found in Nigeria, leaving or coming into nigeria and same be deposited in the court registry pending the hearing of the case already before the court.

The court gave Obasanjo 21 days to come and show cause why he should not be committed to prison for disobeying the courts order.

Apparently, Obasanjo had ignored an earlier order of court and gone ahead with the publication.

A man who unleashed a reign of terror and impugnity, looted this country by virtue of the powers vested in him by the law. How can he turn round and thumb his nose at same law?

They should have committed him to prison already.

The Court should tell us why the judgement stopping Obasanjo from publishing his book was delivered last week, when it was supposed to be delivered this week.

There is no court in the world that can stop anybody from writing or publishing his or her autography. It is only in Nigeria the ppl that suppose to be honorable judge begin to sell justice.
You can only sue if you find any part of the book offensive, but not to stop him from telling his own story. That is his own right guaranty by our constitution.

Nigeria judiciary is a cash and carry judicial system. Wait and see as OBJ buys his own counter injunction from another judge.
If anyone doesn't like what is in the book, you sue him for defamation, how does a court ban an opinion, which is what the book is?

The judge should show cause why he should not be committed to an asylum for passing judgement on an expired case. A book has been published cannot be stopped and the motion before the court was not to stop the launching. The aggrieved people can only sue for libel if anything in the book is seen as such. In any case Baba covered all bases. What was rumour he called rumour. What was fact he called fact.

Baba would simply tell them he reserves the right to his freedom of expression. Simple.

Let them jail him if they can. Ohhhhh, how happy I would be seeing president Jonathan driving the last nail into his coffin!!

He thinks he is above the law and the people. I thought I heard it somewhere thar a toothless court ordered him not to publish that notorious biography,but he went ahead as if the court has no jurisdiction. It will be the beginning of sanity in Nigeria if this man gets locked up for good by the law.

One thing i like about baba is that he alway come out strong anytime , he is criticize
Baba have many wrongs but is good side can never be suppress
i believe he is revealing all this information so that younger generation can learn from is mistake and be wise
Baba is revealing all this information so that we will not be deceive by all this evil Politician
READ OBJ BOOK AND BE WISE only fool will insult and condemn this man
if Nigerian have be pressurizing it govt thing will have improve more than this level
it is only a fool that will not read and learn
it is only a fool that will want to stop a learning process by going to court to stop the book launching
it is only a kettle that have the right to call a pot black
in fact JESUS become sinner so that we sinner can be save and if we refuse to be save then he have the right to judge us and send us to hell
pls NIGERIAN LEAVE OBJ ALONE LET HIM TALK AND TELL THE TRUTH SO THAT THE TRUTH CAN SET US FREE
