The Inspector-General of police, Solomon
Arase, has been served a Notice of
Consequence of Disobedience of Court
Order (Form 48) by an Enugu Federal High
Court after the State Police Command failed
to reopen the House of Assembly as
ordered by the court.
In the Notice signed by the court registrar,
the court threatens to jail the IG if he fails
to obey the court order.
The Form 48 read in part, “take notice that
unless you obey the directions contained in
this court order, you will be guilty of
contempt of court and will be liable to be
committed to prison.”
The State House Of Assembly has been
under locks and keys since May 5, when
crisis broke out after the Speaker Eugene
Odoh led 14 lawmakers to commence
impeachment proceedings against
Governor Sullivan Chime.
The court however ordered that on
Monday, May 11, that the House be opened,
but the state Police Command flouted the
order as the House remains closed five
days after the court order.
The presiding judge, Justice D.V. Agishi
granted an ex-parte motion brought by the
Speaker of the Assembly, Odoh, in suit
number FHC/EN/CS/99/2015, which has
eight members of the House of Assembly,
the Commissioner of Police and the IGP as
1st to 10th respondents respectively.
