Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has appealed the contempt of court charge slammed on him by an Abuja high court.
According to PREMIUM TIMES, tendering his appeal through his counsel, Gboyega Oyewole, Obasanjo challenged the ruling at the Court of Appeal Abuja, on 10 grounds.
The former President said he was dissatisfied with the ruling handed by the judge, Valentine Ashi. Speaking on his behalf, his counsel said, "The learned trial Judge erred in law and acted without jurisdiction in directing the police and security agencies to seize the Defendant’s book ‘My Watch’ from any vendor and directing the Defendant to show cause within 21 days on why he should not be committed to prison for contempt of court".
Obasanjo had on Tuesday launched his autobiography despite a court order barring him from doing so.
