High Court restrains Imo state govt from relocating, destroying or tampering with Ekeukwu Owerri market

 
On Monday, an Imo State High Court which was presided over by Justice Sabinus I. Opara, restrained the state government from destroying, relocating or tampering with the Ekeukwu Owerri Market, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit, HOW/380/2016.
The respondents included the Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha the Attorney General of Imo State, and the Commissioner for Lands, Survey and Urban Planning.

Despite being served with court papers, none of the defendants was represented in court which angered Hustice Opara who said:
“There is proof that all the respondent’s were duly served as far back as August 31, 2016. There is however, nothing in the court’s file to show that the respondents have filed their response”. 
Justice Opara ordered that the status quo be maintained and also directed that the State Attorney General be served with the order of court and must also appear in person on September 8, 2016, which is when the next court case was scheduled.

TBoss has defended Thin Tall Tony after social media users made fun of him for driving a cab. A Twitter user took to the platform to reveal that she ordered a ride via a new online app and former Big Brother Naija contestant, Thin Tall Tony, was the cab driver who popped up. She later shared a follow-up tweet revealing that, indeed, TTT was her driver. She shared a photo as proof. Sadly, some saw it as an opportunity to shame the former reality star. Some even went as far as comparing the housemates of Big Brother Naija season 2 to the season 3 housemates and said the later are progressing better. But TBoss wasn't here for it and she defended Tony while also cautioning followers to stop comparing them to BBNaija season 3 housemates. TBoss' sister, Wendy also defended TTT and said he is doing a legit hustle and not living a fake life.
