Former Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu
An Abuja High Court has vacated the exparte order freezing all accounts of the Abia State Government.

The Abia legal team had filed 2 applications before the court.

The first was an application urging the court to vacate the order because it made pursuant to a defective affidavit.
The second was an application challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the matter.
The lawyers said the affidavit in support of the ex parte application was sworn to at the Federal High Court Registry and used to file a matter at the FCT High Court.
Ihediwa, however, prayed the court to vacate the order in the interest of justice, public order, and peace.
Justice Kawu, therefore, vacated the order and adjourned the matter till April 28, 2023, for further hearing.
