A Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, has granted an interim order restraining the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) from taking any further action against the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), Professor Abayomi Fasina.
Presiding judge, Justice Akintayo Aluko, directed the ICPC and its agents to maintain the status quo ante bellum regarding the Commission’s invitation of Professor Fasina, including any threat of arrest, detention, or violation of his fundamental rights, pending the hearing and final determination of his Motion on Notice for an Interlocutory Injunction.
The court further restrained the ICPC from taking any additional steps concerning the subject matter of the case until the substantive motion is fully heard and decided.
The interim orders followed submissions by Mr. Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), who appeared alongside O. Adesioye (Esq) on behalf of Professor Fasina.
