Justice Inyang Ekwo, in his ruling, held that It was obligatory on every person to obey orders of the court. “This court stands to commit Mr Lough to prison custody for this blatant act of impunity and contemptuous disobedience. The Police, however, in defiance of the order, arrested Adeleke when he honoured the invitation. In dismissing the application, Justice Ekwo held that from the submissions of Lough, Adeleke had already traveled which meant that the application was spent. This he said was by arraigning Adeleke before the Magistrate Court on May 7, just to stop him from traveling.
