Former president, Olusegun
Obasanjo, has appealed the
judgment by a Federal Capital
Territory High Court, presided over
by Justice Valentine Ashi, against
the publication of his
autobiography, titled ‘My Watch’.

In the court of appeal holding in Abuja,
the former president said the learned
Trial Judge erred in law when he
granted Interlocutory Orders of
Injunction which inter alia restrained
the Defendant from the publication of
his book “My Watch” or the content of
the letter to the President which is the
subject of the suit before the trial judge
in the said book.

In his ten ground appeal, Mr Obasanjo
said the Judge “erred in law and acted
without jurisdiction in directing the
police and security agencies to seize
the book from any vendor” and
directing him (Obasanjo) to show cause
within 21 days on why he should not
be committed to prison for contempt of
court.

The former president is seeking an
order setting aside the ruling of the
lower Court made on Wednesday the
10th of December, 2014 and all the
orders made thereunder.

He is also seeking an order transferring
the suit to the Chief Judge of the High
Court of the Federal Capital Territory for
reassignment to another judge
It will be recalled that the South West
People’s Democratic Party (PDP),
Organization and Mobilization
Chairman, Mr Buruji Kashamu has
approached the Abuja High Court
asking the court to restrain the
defendant, Olusegun Obasanjo from
publishing his autobiography “My
Watch"

nice book.
