BENIN CITY, EDO STATE<\/strong> \u2014 Dr. Odimientimi Agbedeyi, Dean of the School of Applied Sciences at Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, Chief Executive Officer of GlobalegberiTV Ofunama, and a House of Assembly aspirant under the platform of the National Rescue Movement (NRM), has issued a forceful call for an immediate, impartial and comprehensive investigation into the alleged attack on Gelegele representatives, litigants and legal practitioners at a High Court in Benin City, Edo State.<\/p>\nDr. Agbedeyi made the demand while speaking with Pinaiba Bolouere Firstlady, a staff correspondent of GlobalegberiTV Ofunama, during a telephone conversation in which he expressed grave concern over the reported incident and its potential implications for public confidence in the administration of justice.<\/p>\n
He urged the Governor of Edo State and all relevant security agencies to treat the allegation with the urgency, seriousness and institutional responsibility it deserves, stressing that any reported incident involving individuals participating in judicial proceedings must be subjected to rigorous scrutiny.<\/p>\n
According to him, the circumstances surrounding the alleged confrontation must be established without delay, those responsible for any verified wrongdoing must be held accountable in accordance with the law, and every person affected must be afforded the protection and legal remedies available under the Nigerian Constitution and other applicable laws.<\/p>\n
COURTROOM SECURITY MUST NOT BE COMPROMISED<\/h4>\n
Dr. Agbedeyi’s intervention places a critical question before the Edo State authorities: how can citizens retain confidence in the judicial process if allegations of violence involving litigants, representatives and lawyers within the precincts of a court are not promptly and transparently investigated?<\/p>\n
He maintained that the judiciary occupies a pivotal position in the constitutional architecture of the country and that the sanctity of court proceedings must be protected against intimidation, violence and any conduct capable of undermining the administration of justice.<\/p>\n
A courtroom is not an arena for intimidation, physical confrontation or the imposition of personal interests through force. It is a constitutionally recognised forum where disputes are resolved through evidence, legal argument and judicial determination.<\/p>\n
Consequently, any credible allegation of an attack connected with court proceedings demands a response that is both decisive and scrupulously lawful.<\/p>\n
The appropriate authorities, he urged, must establish precisely what transpired, identify the individuals involved, obtain relevant witness accounts, examine any available video footage and other admissible evidence, and determine whether any criminal or other legal violations occurred.<\/p>\n
Such an investigation, he argued, must be conducted without political interference, preferential treatment or selective application of the law.<\/p>\n
EDO STATE GOVERNMENT URGED TO DEMONSTRATE LEADERSHIP<\/h4>\n
Dr. Agbedeyi called on the Governor of Edo State to demonstrate decisive leadership by ensuring that the relevant institutions respond promptly to the allegation.<\/p>\n
He stressed that the responsibility of government extends beyond maintaining public order to safeguarding the conditions necessary for citizens to exercise their legal rights without fear of violence or intimidation.<\/p>\n
He further urged the appropriate police authorities and other relevant security agencies to establish the facts surrounding the reported incident and take lawful action wherever sufficient evidence establishes wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
The call is particularly significant because allegations of violence involving litigants and legal practitioners can generate public anxiety about access to justice, personal security and the ability of individuals to pursue disputes through lawful channels.<\/p>\n
However, a credible response must be anchored in evidence rather than speculation. Authorities must neither dismiss the allegation prematurely nor presume the guilt of any individual before the facts have been established.<\/p>\n
The objective, Dr. Agbedeyi’s position underscores, should be the discovery of the truth, the protection of affected persons and the preservation of public confidence in the justice system.<\/p>\n
NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW<\/h4>\n
The reported incident, if established in its alleged form, would raise serious questions about compliance with the law and the security arrangements surrounding judicial proceedings.<\/p>\n
Nigeria’s constitutional framework guarantees the right to a fair hearing, while the rule of law demands that disputes be resolved through established legal procedures rather than coercion or violence.<\/p>\n
Dr. Agbedeyi’s demand therefore reflects a broader principle: no individual, group or interest should be permitted to place itself beyond the reach of lawful investigation and accountability.<\/p>\n
Equally, no person accused of wrongdoing should be condemned without a fair process. A proper investigation must protect the rights of complainants, witnesses and persons suspected of involvement while allowing the competent authorities to act on the available evidence.<\/p>\n
This balance is indispensable to ensuring that justice is not only pursued but administered in a manner that commands public legitimacy.<\/p>\n
SECURITY AGENCIES MUST ACT WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND TRANSPARENCY<\/h4>\n
The GlobalegberiTV chief executive further called for professionalism in the handling of the allegation, urging the relevant authorities to avoid superficial inquiries that fail to establish responsibility or provide clarity to the public.<\/p>\n
He advocated an investigation capable of answering fundamental questions: What precisely happened? Who was involved? What circumstances preceded the alleged attack? Were there security personnel or court officials who witnessed the incident? What evidence is available, and what measures are necessary to prevent a recurrence?<\/p>\n
Providing credible answers to these questions would help separate verifiable facts from conjecture and demonstrate that allegations involving the administration of justice are treated with the seriousness they warrant.<\/p>\n
Where evidence establishes criminal conduct, the appropriate authorities should pursue prosecution in accordance with due process. Where the facts do not support an allegation against a particular individual, that conclusion should equally be respected.<\/p>\n
The integrity of an investigation lies not in producing a predetermined outcome but in establishing the truth impartially.<\/p>\n
A TEST OF PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM<\/h4>\n
Beyond the immediate allegation, the matter presents an opportunity for the Edo State Government and the relevant institutions to reaffirm their commitment to the protection of lawful judicial proceedings.<\/p>\n
Public confidence in the courts depends not only on judicial independence and competent adjudication but also on the assurance that people can approach the justice system without being subjected to intimidation or violence.<\/p>\n
Lawyers must be able to represent their clients, litigants must be able to pursue their claims, and witnesses must be able to participate in proceedings without fear of unlawful interference.<\/p>\n
Any verified breach of these safeguards must be addressed through lawful and effective institutional action.<\/p>\n
For a society governed by constitutional principles, the courtroom must remain a place where the law speaks with authority and disputes are settled through justice rather than intimidation.<\/p>\n
DR. AGBEDEYI’S POSITION: INVESTIGATE, ESTABLISH THE FACTS AND ACT<\/h4>\n
Dr. Odimientimi Agbedeyi’s intervention reinforces the urgent need for the Edo State authorities to respond to the allegation with clarity, diligence and institutional accountability.<\/p>\n
His appeal to the governor and security agencies is for an investigation that is prompt enough to preserve relevant evidence, thorough enough to identify what actually occurred, and impartial enough to withstand public scrutiny.<\/p>\n
As of the preparation of this report, the specific circumstances of the alleged attack, the identities of all persons involved, any official response and the outcome of any investigation had not been independently established for this publication. The allegations should therefore be treated as allegations pending verification.<\/p>\n
Global Egberi TV will continue to follow developments surrounding the matter and welcomes credible information or official statements that may help establish the facts.<\/p>\n
The central demand remains unequivocal: investigate the alleged attack, protect the integrity of judicial proceedings, uphold the rule of law and ensure accountability wherever the evidence justifies it.<\/strong><\/p>\nPINAIBA BOLOUERE FIRSTLADY<\/strong>
