    AA sues IGP, INEC, others over alleged interference in party affairs

    TheAction Alliance (AA) has filed a suit at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court against the Inspector General of Police, the Nigeria Police Force, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and others over alleged interference in its internal affairs.

    In a statement signed on Monday, the party’s National Secretary, Vernimbe James, disclosed that the suit was filed by the National Executive Committee led by Chief Barrister Kenneth Udeze.

    The suit, marked FCT/HC/CV/2741/25 and filed on July 17, 2025, seeks to stop alleged harassment, intimidation, and unlawful disruption of the party’s activities by the Police, allegedly at the instigation of one Adekunle Rufai Omoaje—a former and expelled member of the party.

    Filed through the party’s legal counsel, Peters Ugwuoke, the suit seeks judicial declarations and injunctive reliefs to prevent further interference by the Police and other respondents in the leadership and daily operations of the party.

    According to the AA, Omoaje’s actions are a desperate ploy to unlawfully disrupt the party’s leadership after suffering multiple defeats in court.

    The party stated that its legal counsel had written to the Police in a letter dated July 18, 2025, informing them of the pending suit and urging them to maintain the status quo ante—to refrain from any further invitations, interrogations, or harassment of Chief Udeze and other NEC members pending the court’s decision.

    The statement further declared that the party would not honour any police invitation concerning the leadership tussle.

    “Failure of the Police to stop further actions on invitation, arrest, interrogation, or harassment of Chief Barr. Kenneth Udeze and other NEC members of the party who are applicants in the pending suit will amount to self-help and an affront to the judicial process and the majesty of the court,” the statement read..
