Court Okays Obi Supporters’ Rally In Lagos, Asks Them Not To Converge On Lekki Toll Gate

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Wednesday ruled that the planned rally by Peter Obi supporters, tagged #Obi­datti23 Forward Ever, sched­uled for October 1, in Lagos, cannot converge on Lekki Toll Gate.

The court, however, said the rally can march through the toll plaza and continue to other locations.

The court, in a ruling delivered by Justice Daniel Osiagor, ordered the organ­isers of the rally not to gather at the toll gate, their planned convergence point.

The court also directed the Inspector-General of Police and the Lagos State Police Commissioner to ensure com­pliance with the order.

The judge’s decision comes on the day political parties were billed to officially begin their campaigns across the country.

Ten plaintiffs, including nine lawyers, had approached the court seeking to restrain Obi, the presidential candi­date of the Labour Party (LP); his running mate, Yusuf Ba­ba-Ahmed; and the party’s supporters from holding the rally in Lagos.

The plaintiffs argued that the rally could cause a break­down of law and order and a repeat of the October 20, 2020, incident where soldiers opened fire on peaceful pro­testers who gathered at the toll gate.

The defendants filed a notice of preliminary objection seek­ing to stop the court from hear­ing the motion on the grounds that it lacked jurisdiction.


The court adjourned till No­vember 4 for hearing to enable parties in the suit to be served.

The plaintiffs included Ad­edotun Ajulo, Salamatu Sulei­man Lewi, Hakeem Ijaduola, Ogunbona Akinpelu, Owolabi Oluwasegun, Mogbojuri Kayo­de, Wuyep Mantim Nadom, Dimimu Mabel, Kolawole Sa­lami, and Wale Abe Lawrence.

The 1st to 10th defendants in the suit marked FHC/L/ CS/1729/2022 are Mr. Obi, LP, Mr. Baba-Ahmed, Mr. Abu­re, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Commissioner of Police (Lagos State Com­mand), Director-General (De­partment of State Services), Lekki Concession Company (LCC) Limited, Attorney-Gen­eral of Lagos State, and the Governor of Lagos State.

The plaintiffs in the suit marked FHC/L/CS/1729/2022, had argued that a repeat or cel­ebration of the “infamous” EndSARS protest of 2020 under the political guise of “#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally” will cause a breakdown of peace and will result in post-traumatic stress disorder for them and the public.

They prayed the court for fourreliefs:“Anorderof interim injunction restraining the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th defendants; their associates and loyalists from conducting the scheduled EndSARS rally tagged as the “#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally on the 1st of October, 2020 or any other subsequent date, at the Lekki Toll Gate until the hearing and determination of the motion-on-notice dated Sep­tember 12, 2022.

“An order of interim in­junction restraining the 1st 2nd, 3rd, and 4th defendants and their loyalists from fur­ther planning and promoting the scheduled EndSARS rally tagged as the “#Obidatti23 For­ward Ever Rally.

“An order of interim in­junction restraining the 8th defendant (LCC) from grant­ing permission to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th defendants; their agents, privies, allies, and loy­alists, to make use of the Lekki Toll Gate or any space under and within the control of the 8th defendant for carrying out the said anniversary on the 1st of October, 2022 and any other subsequent date.”.
