A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has struck a suit by Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Government, Edison Ehie seeking to strike down criminal charges against him.
Justice Bolaji Olajuwon, in her ruling today, said Ehie, lacked the legal right to make such plea having not been joined as a defendant in the charge.
The judge said Ehie’s name was only mentioned as a person who is at large, which was just a statement.
The judge agreed with the police lawyer, Simon Lough, SAN, that having not been joined as a defendant in the charge, Ehie’s application cannot be heard.
She urged Ehie to make himself available to the Police if he was not at large.
