Ebonyi State Government has said it will appeal the judgment of the Federal High Court Abakaliki which voided the establishment and operations of the Ebubeagu security outfit in the state.
The Special Security Consultant to the state government, Stanley Emegha, noted that the court must have been hoodwinked to deliver such a judgment that is anti-people.
Emegha expressed optimism that the appellate court would reverse the verdict in due course, because the outfit has a firm legal backing to its existence and operations.
The Consultant added that the opposition who instituted the case knew that the Judgment would not scale through the next round of judicial scrutiny.
