According to the judge, what he granted the ex-governor was just a leave of the court to enforce his fundamental human rights, and not what was publicly celebrated in the print and broadcast media that he had barred the police and the state security service agents from arresting him.

"I am not too happy with the things I read on the pages of newspapers.

"Cases are fought in court and not on the pages of newspapers. I granted the leave and can revoke it now," he said.

Justice Abubakar expressed his dissatisfaction when the matter came up for hearing yesterday.

But, Fayose’s counsel, Mr. Alex Iziyon (SAN) apologised to the judge, saying the he never took the court order anywhere for the purpose of publication, even as he admitted that he was yet to serve the second respondent with the court processes.

He, however, asked the court for a short adjournment to enable him serve the SSS with the documents.

Meanwhile, Ekiti State government has declared its interest in the matter brought before the court by the ex-governor.

Its counsel, Bisi Ade Ademuwagun who appeared in court yesterday said he had just been briefed by the government and he intended to bring an application to be joined in the suit.

The judge, who consequently adjourned the matter till July 26, directed him to file his application before the next date of hearing.

Justice Abubakar had on July 3, 2007 granted an ex parte motion for Fayose to enforce his basic rights, pending the determination of his application for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights.
