A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja Division and presided over by Hon. Justice I. E. Ekwo has ordered Governor Yahaya Bello to pay Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka the Sum of N500,000,000.00 (five hundred million Naira) only for the violation of his fundamental rights.
The judgment was delivered on Thursday in the Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/952/2923 instituted against Governor Yahaya Bello by Alhaji Muritala Yakubu Ajaka.
Furthermore, the Court ordered Governor Yahaha Bello to tender a public apology to Alhaji Murtala Yakubu Ajaka saying that same must be published and aired in print and electronic media respectively.
Ends.
It would be recalled that fully armed thugs attacked the SDP Governorship candidate, Muritala Ajaka while he was on his way from a campaign rally from Koton Karfe to Lokoja.
Ajaka escaped unhurt as the armoured bullet proof mercedes Benz saved his life, but some vehicles on his entourage were burnt and vandalised by hoodlums.
