A High Court in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has
ordered Magistrate Omolola Akindele to stop the prosecution of Pastor Sam
Adeyemi of Daystar Christian Centre, Burna Boy, Davido, Falz, activist Deji
Adeyanju and others.
Recall that one Mr Okeke filed charges in
November 2020 against Pastor Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Christian Centre, Burna
Boy, Davido, Falz, activist Deji Adeyanju .
The lawyer alleged his property were destroyed during the
End SARS protest and called for the prosecution of the defendants who promoted
the protest.
Others listed as defendants were Peter and Paul Okoye,
Tuface Idibia, Banky W, Tiwa Savage, Don Jazzy, Ayo Wizkid, and Yemi Alade.
Besides the musicians, other defendants are Aisha Yesufu,
Kanu Nwankwo, Joe Abah; journalist Kiki Mordi, as well as actors Yul Edochie
and Uche Jombo.
Social media influencers such as Feyikemi Abudu, Olorunrinu
Oduala, Pamilerin Adegoke, Japhet Omojuwa, Ayo Sogunro, and Deji Adeyanju were
also joined in the suit, as well as activist, Tope Akinyode.
According to a criminal complaint filed by the lawyer,
Kenechukwu Okeke, the Magistrate court is to immediately stop proceedings and
stay action against 50 persons who supported the #EndSARS protests.
Also, Justice Bello Kawu restrained the Nigeria Police Force
from arresting or taking any action against the individuals after the court had
ordered police investigation.
This was after Deji Adeyanju filed an application before the
FCT High Court seeking a judicial review of the substantive matter before the
magistrate.
In ruling, Justice Kawu said, “An order of this honourable
court granting leave to the application to issue and serve on the defendant an
application for judicial review against the proceedings/direct criminal
complaint of Hon. Omolola Tolulope Akindele sitting at Chief Magistrate Court
II, Wuse Zone 6 in the suit of Kenechukwu Okeke Vs Deji Adeyanju and 49 others
in suit No. CR/49/2020.”
