Ogun PDP: More trouble for Adebayo Dayo, Son As Court Throws Lawsuit Against Kashamu In The Trash
…Awards cost of N250,000 against father and son
An Ogun State High Court sitting in Ijebu-Ode, Ijebu Ode
Local Government Area of the state this Thursday dismissed two suits filed by
the former Chairman of the state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP), Engr. Adebayo Dayo and his son, Bola.
The duo had filed two separate suits against Police and
Senator Buruji Kashamu alleging that their Fundamental rights to freedom of
movement, association and to own properties in any part of the country were
about to be breached.
In the suits number HCJ/64/2020 and
HCJ/65/2020, Dayo and his son, Bola, asked the court to
restrain the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG Zone 2), the
Commissioner of Police, Ogun State and
the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Ijebu-Igbo, OgunState, from arresting and
detaining them over the complaints made against them by Senator Kashamu.
Recall that Dayo was the first to write petitions to the
Police and State Security Service (SSS) alleging threats to his life and his
household.
Upon being invited by the Police and SSS to substantiate his
allegations, Dayo and his son, Bola, refused to honour Police invitation but
chose to go from one court to the other seeking orders to bar the security
agencies from doing their job.
Delivering judgment in the two cases today, the Honourable
Justice O.S Olusanya found that both suits were an abuse of court processes and
dismissed them.
He also awarded a cost of N150,000 against Dayo and N100,000
against Bola.
Reacting to the court judgments,the Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Ogun
State and immediate past Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council IPAC in
Ogun State, Comrade Gentleman Abayomi Arabambi, said, “With today’s court
pronouncements, the Police and other security agencies can now do their job of
investigating all the allegations and counter-allegations against the parties
in dispute with a view to establishing the veracity or otherwise of their
claims and counter-claims.”
It would be recalled that the Federal High Court sitting in
Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, had on the 10th of June, 2020, dismissed a
similar suit filed by Bola and awarded a cost of N100,000 against him.
