The High Court has declined to compel the private security regulator to issue American-based firm Wells Fargo with a temporary licence to operate in the country.

Justice Jairus Ngaah said Wells Fargo could not justify why it stayed quiet for two years after Private Security Regulatory Authority (PSRA) declined to process its application.
