Salihu stated, “After considering Senior Ibrahim Sulyman’s arguments and reviewing the affidavit and written address supporting the motion ex parte, the following orders are granted:
“An interim injunction is issued restraining the 4th-6th respondents, their agents, or anyone acting on their behalf, from holding their proposed protest, rallies, processions, or meetings anywhere other than Metropolitan Square/Asa Dam Road, Kwara State. This order is effective for seven days starting August 1, 2024.
“It is further ordered that the 1st-3rd respondents must ensure adequate security to protect citizens, residents, and government infrastructure from any acts of protest by the 4th-6th respondents during this period or until the motion on notice is resolved.”
The Chief Magistrate also instructed that all court documents related to the case be served on the 4th-6th respondents by posting them at the High Court of Justice premises.
Further hearings are scheduled for August 14, 2024.
