•Warns against ‘serial contemnors’

The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the custodians of the nation’s judicial system to shun those it described as “serial contemnors masquerading as people seeking justice.”

It spoke against the backdrop of moves to stall the contempt of court proceedings against some of the party chieftains at the Federal High Court, Lagos. 

In an open letter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), the Acting President of the Court of Appeal (PCA), Chief Judge of the Federal High Court and all the judges under them, the party alleged that some highly-placed individuals within its fold and their “external collaborators who have continued to disobey valid court orders and judgments are running from one court to the other, making frivolous applications.”

In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Waliu Oladipupo, the party stated it was constrained to raise the alarm given the fact that the antecedents of those involved are well-known “as they have continued in their abuse of the judicial system through frivolous petitions and forum shopping.”

It wondered why the same people who have continued to disobey court orders and judgments would turn round to seek protection from the same institution.
