A Federal High Court sitting in Jos, the Plateau State capital, has vacated its order restraining the police from arresting the chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ekiti State, Jide Awe, and four others wanted for alleged murder.
Justice
A. Lewis-Allagoa ruled yesterday that “nobody can tie the hands of the police from
performing their constitutional duties”.
He said an earlier order he granted, restraining the arrest of Mr. Awe and others, was just for a limited time.
