Court Issues Restraining Order in Amadi-Opurozor Feud
Civic Action for Democracy (CAD) praised the Nigerian judiciary for an interim restraining order issued by Justice Emeka Orafu of the Imo State High Court on October 7, 2026, in a suit filed by Hon. Collins Opurozor against Mazi Chima Matthew Amadi. The order, related to suit No.
HOU/112/2026, restrains Amadi and agents of the Nigeria Police Force from threatening, harassing, or detaining Opurozor pending the hearing scheduled for October 14, 2026. CAD's Executive Director, Mazi Franklin Ngoforo, urged the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, to focus the Nigeria Police Force Cybercrime Centre on genuine cybercrime rather than political disputes.
Ngoforo also called for an investigation into the political neutrality of the Assistant Inspector-General of Police overseeing the Cybercrime Centre. Amadi is the Action Peoples Party candidate for the Owerri Senatorial Zone in the 2027 elections, while Opurozor serves as Special Adviser to Governor Hope Uzodimma.
The two have been publicly clashing over political issues.
