The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has issued an interim injunction restraining security agencies and other parties from harassing or unlawfully arresting Prince Abiola Kosoko, the Oloja-Elect of Lagos, pending the determination of a substantive suit.
Justice Musa Kakaki granted the order after considering an ex parte application filed by Kosoko through his counsel, A.S. Abimbola.
The suit, marked FHC/L/CS/0426/2025, lists as respondents the Inspector General of Police; the Assistant Inspector General of Police (Zone II, Onikan, Lagos); Deputy Commissioner of Police Adamu Bello Muhammed; Chief Superintendent of Police Mariam Ogunmolasuyi; His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu (Oba of Lagos), and Olumegbon Ajah Chieftaincy Family Property and Investments Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Olumegbon Royal Family.
In his ruling, Kakaki ordered the respondents and their agents to refrain from “harassing, attempting to arrest, inviting, detaining, or unlawfully interfering with or violating the applicant’s right to personal liberty, dignity of the human person, and fair hearing as enshrined in Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution (as amended)” until the substantive motion is heard.
