A Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo has dismissed a suit seeking the arrest, probe and prosecution of the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Professor George Obiozor and other leaders of the group over alleged contempt.
The Judge in a ruling held that the applicant -The Registered Trustees of Ohanaeze Ndigbo General Assembly, led by Barrister Onuorah Onyeachonam failed to show that Obiozor and others committed any offence known to law to warrant their arrest, investigation and prosecution.
The Onyeachonam-led Ohanaeze Indigbo General Assembly had, in the suit claimed that Obiozor and other leaders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, who emerged from the recently conducted election, were in contempt by allegedly running an illegal and unregistered organization.
The judge however, said he was unable to see any justifiable cause in the application, describing it as frivolous.
He then ordered dismissing of the case for lacking in merit.
