Court Stops Obasanjo From Publishing Autobiography by gratieao(op): 1:55pm On Dec 07, 2014
An Abuja High Court has restrained a former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, from  publishing or having someone publish on his behalf, a new autobiography titled: ‘My Watch’.

Justice Valentine Ashi sitting  in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja made the restraining order last Friday without according the former president a hearing.

The order was made in favour of a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Buruji Kashamu. The application was argued ex-parte by Kashamu's lawyer,  Dr Alex Izinyon, SAN.

Iziyon had argued that the content of the book related to issues contained in Obasanjo’s December 2, 2013, letter to President Goodluck Jonathan and former PDP National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, where he (Obasanjo) claimed that Kashamu was allegedly a fugitive, wanted in the United States.

He contended that since the content of the letter was the subject of the libel suit his client filed against Obsanjo, which is still pending before the court, it was wrong for the ex-president 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 a ruling, restrained Obasanjo from either publishing the book or have it published on his behalf by anybody, pending the determination of the main suit still pending before the court.

Since they dey try hide the truth from us ,theres a simple solution to all this .


When Record labels keep pushing an artiste album release date back what does he do? He simply "leak it on the internet"



OBJ get enuff money he shouldn't care about sales... He can just use one of his boys to carry out the "leak" through PDF n ePubs.





If asked he should simply say "it wasn't me" in shaggy's voice.
