Court Orders Arrest of Ex-INEC Chairman Yakubu for Contempt

A Federal High Court in Osogbo, Osun State, has ordered the arrest of former INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu for contempt of court shortly after he stepped down from his position. The court directed the police to apprehend Yakubu within seven days for failing to comply with a previous court judgment involving the Action Alliance party.

The arrest order follows a dispute where INEC allegedly refused to upload the name of Adekunle Rufai Omoaje as the National Chairman of AA. This development could have legal repercussions for Yakubu and raises questions about the enforcement of court orders by public officials.
