The PSC sought to restrain the defendants, their officers and representatives, including anybody or person acting on their behalf from appointing, recruiting or attempting to appoint or recruit by any means whatsoever any person into any office in the first defendant, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.

Delivering judgment, Justice Ekwo held that after examining the evidences, he found nothing to establish the plaintiff’s case, which he described as lacking in merit.
