A Federal High Court orders the Imo State Government and police to stop disrupting rallies and other civic activities linked to federal lawmaker Imo Ugochinyere, an “Ideato Rep,” and associated campaign events.
The court action follows a dispute over the state’s directives ahead of the 2027 general election. Premium Times reports the lawmaker challenges a letter issued by the Imo State Government on 15 June that limits him to a maximum of six billboards in his Ideato North and South Federal Constituency. While The Punch focuses on the court preventing interference with rallies and civic activities, Premium Times adds that the restraining order also covers attempts to remove billboards tied to the lawmaker’s campaign.
Together, the reports describe a court-ordered pause on state and police interference in the lawmaker’s public political activities, with the additional billboard-related restriction highlighted in Premium Times’ account.
