Court Bars Pat Utomi from Establishing Shadow Government in Nigeria
The Federal High Court in Abuja has prohibited Professor Pat Utomi and associates from forming a shadow government in Nigeria, deeming the move unconstitutional within the country's presidential system. The ruling followed a suit filed by the Department of State Services (DSS), citing national security concerns.
Justice James Omotosho declared the initiative as potentially undermining internal security, emphasizing citizens' rights to criticize the government should not cover unlawful activities. The court commended the DSS for its preventive actions to safeguard national security interests.
