The interest of the 1st applicant is political.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat the 3rd respondent is an independent government agency that has no political colouration or affiliation. The court has to insulate the 3rd respondent from political controversies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat the suit is baseless, frivolous, and brought in bad faith with the sole aim of achieving a political objective using the instrumentality of the court process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat the facts and circumstances of the case require the court to apply the doctrine of judicial self-restraint.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has filed a preliminary objection to a suit instituted by the Peoples
