Justice Okuma issued the order on Friday when the case brought by the Ochiogu-led executive against the commissioner for commerce and the Attorney-General of the State came up for hearing at the Onitsha High Court.
Uzuegbu stated that the commissioner and the government officials have been harassing his clients using the Police and Department of State Services. Justice Okuma in his directive said there was no need for the involvement of the security operatives by the government officials in a matter being handled by the court, noting that the government, as the father of all, should always toe the line of civility in the discharge of their duties.
Justice Okuma also warned that he should not hear that the leadership of the market imposed any levy on the traders to collect money to pay Judge, saying he would not hesitate to descend heavily on anybody found involved in such an act.
