Court stops Eze Ndigbo’s installation in Edo

An Edo State High Court has stopped the installation of Chief Luke Abbas as the Eze Ndigbo of Edo State.


The court ordered Police Commissioner Chris Ezike to stop Abbas’ installation.


Justice A. Edodo-Eruaga gave the order, following an ex parte motion by Chief Fecus Ezekwere and two others on behalf of the Igbo community’s union in the state.


In its ruling, the court granted an interim injunction restraining Abbas from presenting himself to Eze Nwosu Ibe for installation as the Eze Ndigbo.


Justice Edodo-Eruaga granted the injunction restraining Ibe and his agents from installing Abbas as the Eze Ndigbo, pending the determination of the motion on notice.


The court also gave an order of interim injunction restraining the police commissioner from “permitting or allowing Ibe and Abbas to assemble at Abbas’s home for the purpose of installing him as the Eze Ndigbo of Edo State”.


The case was adjourned till December 22 for hearing of the motion on notice.
