Eko Hot Blog reports that Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has set January 24, 2023, for the hearing of this case.
This medium gathered that the case was postponed so that the plaintiff could serve the defendants with all court documents.
Briefing journalists at the court premises, Omirhobo noted that he was disturbed by the rising cases of armed violence and kidnapping in Nigeria and needed to arm himself with the weapon.

Omirhobo is also asking the court to order President Buhari and the Inspector General of Police IGP and all the commissioners of Police in Nigeria to renew all expired gun licenses upon application by the applicants to enable them to exercise their fundamental rights as enshrined in the constitution from attacks of heavily armed criminals with AK-47.
