Court okays release of Obasanjo’s book, My Watch
But on Monday, Justice Valentine Ashi who in December 2014 placed a ban on the book, vacated his earlier order on the ground that the plaintiff and a PDP chieftain, Buruji Kashamu, suppressed fact from the court to obtain the order.
According to Justice Ashi, Kashamu who had approached the court saying that the book was libelous, did not prove that the book was indeed libelous. Lead counsel to the former President, Mr Agabi proved to Justice Ashi in court that he was misled by the plaintiff.
He also restrained the Comptroller General of Customs (CGC) from charging demurrage on copies of the book already confiscated. The case was adjourned to May 25 for further hearing.
