Court Bars Peter Obi Supporters From Oct 1st Rally At Lekki Toll Gate
The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Wednesday has ordered the Labour Party and its supporters not to converge on the Lekki toll gate plaza for its #Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally billed to hold on the 1st of October, 2022.
However, Justice Daniel Osiagor, who made the order, did not stop the supporters from holding the rally in four other venues in Lagos State.

The court rather held that while the rally cannot stop at the Lekki toll gate, it can pass through the venue to access Falomo Bridge and other venues at which the rally plans to meet.
The court also directed the Inspector General of Police and the Police Commissioner of Lagos State to ensure compliance with the order.
Justice Osiagor made these orders on Wednesday while ruling on a motion for injunction brought by 10 plaintiffs, who are asking the court to, among others, restrain the LP, its presidential candidate Peter Obi, his running mate – Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, one Julius Abure and their loyalists from holding the rally, until the hearing and determination of their Motion-On-Notice.
