Obasanjo Wins Again As Court Lifts Ban On His Autobiography, ‘My Watch’

Baba is sure having it good lately. Btw, if you are expecting me to explain how he has been having it good lately to you, then I am sorry, you go tey there, cus no be my mouth you go hear say teacher mama don die. Lol.

A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Apo, Abuja, has lifted an injunction barring former President Olusegun Obasanjo from publishing his autobiography, ‘My Watch’, Punch reports.

Justice Valentine Ashi ordered  on the release of the books which had been  in the custody of the Nigerian Customs Service.

The books were intercepted by the Nigerian Customs on the strength of the court injunction which was granted on December 10, 2014.

‎

But Justice Valentine Ash set aside the order of injunction on Monday upon an application by Obasanjo, through his lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN).

‎

The court asked the customs not to collect demurrage on the books for the period they had overspent in their custody.

The court upheld Agabi’s argument that the applicant, a Peoples Democratic Party chief in Ogun State, Buruji Kashamu, who is currently pursuing a N20bn libel suit against Obasanjo in the same court, suppressed vital facts to obtain the order.
