An Abuja-based Lawyer, Maxwell Opara has filed an ExParte Motion before the Court of Appeal, Abuja seeking abridgement of time for the hearing of his appeal against President Muhammadu Buhari, the Inspector General of Police, the Attorney General of the Federation and Nigeria Police Council over the pending litigation on the extension of the IGP’s tenure.

Recall that the Human Rights Activist and Constitutional Lawyer has maintained an action against the abovementioned parties in APPEAL NO:CA//A/ABJ/CV/648/2021 and SUIT NO: FHC/ABJ/CS/106/2021, over the extension of the tenure of the current Inspector General of Police which was due for retirement on the 1st of March, 2023.

Last month, in a letter to the Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Abuja, the lawyer providing representation in the case, Nnenna Opara Esq. complained that the appeal was filed since 2021 but due to adjournments has now been slated for hearing on the 19th of September.

The letter further asked the Presiding Judge to consider the peculiar circumstances of the case and provide closer hearing date for the appeal.

In the ExParte Motion now filed before the Court, the Appellant is praying for “AN ORDER OF THIS HONOURABLE COURT Abridging the time to hear the appeal filed in this court.”

In an 11-paragraph affidavit in support of the Motion, the Appellant/Applicant stressed that he will suffer untold damages if the matter is not decided in a closer date.

A date is yet to be fixed for moving of the motion.
