Former presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Pat Utomi, has expressed frustration after the Department of State Services (DSS) asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to restrain him from making further public comments or staging rallies in connection with his plan to establish a shadow government in Nigeria.
Papers News reports that the security agency raised the alarm in a fresh application filed on Wednesday, citing security concerns and a looming threat to public order and national unity if Utomi proceeds with his planned activities upon returning to the country on June 6.
In the application, the DSS is seeking an interlocutory injunction to stop Utomi, his agents, and associates from conducting any form of public mobilisation including road shows, rallies, media appearances, and publications—pending the hearing of the substantive suit already before the court.
