However, the hearing of the case is set to hold on September 2016 but pending the time the justice in charge of the case, Justice O.H. Oshodi has granted an injunction restraining Linda Ikeji from further use of the lawyer’s picture, otherwise she would be committed to prison for contempt of court. [myad]
