A
High Court siting in Abuja has ordered the Nigeria Police as well as
the Customs to seize ‘MY WATCH’, a book by former President Olusegun
Obasanjo.
Justice Valentine Ashi in her verdict on Wednesday said
Obasanjo disobeyed the court order by publishing the book after he was
told not to.
Ashi said: “I am of the view that the defendant
having gone ahead to publish the book, he should therefore show cause
within 21 days of the order served on him on why he should not be
punished for contempt of court.
“The
Inspector-General of Police, the Director-General of State Security
Services and the Controller General of Nigeria Customs Services are
hereby directed to recover the book from sales vendors.”
The judge further directed that the book should be kept with the registrar of the court pending the determination of the suit.
