You will recall few months ago, Mrs Betty Otimenyin accused Leftist Omobude Agho, the Coordinator-General of Edo Civil Society Organisations of cyber stalking/defamation of character. In respect of a publication written on the reign of terror on Ugbineh Community in Ovia Northeast local Government Area of Edo State by one Dominic Edobor, a former Okaghele. The publication necessitated her to institute the aforementioned case before Honourable Justice B.O. Quadri of the Federal High Court 1, holding in Benin-City.

The case was for hearing on Monday, 7th October 2024, in the Federal High Court 1, is shocking to notice the plaintiff and her prosecution counsel never showed up at the point the case was called. The led counsel to the defendant, Barrister U.L. Osa-Uwagie raised concern and asked the honourable court to strike out the case, he sighted his authority from the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 (ACJA) replying on Section 351, Non-appearance of complainant.

Although it was a heated argument between Honourable Justice B. O. Quadri and Barrister U.L. Osa-Uwagie through several authorities sighted, the presiding judge denied the motion raised by the defending counsel. The presence of heavily armed police personnel were seen within and around the court premises.

The case was adjourned to 26th November 2024, for hearing.
