Court of Appeal upholds sack of APC senator, Reps member
The Court of Appeal sitting in Sokoto has dismissed the suit by candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) seeking to set aside an earlier judgement declaring Ibrahim Danbaba and Balarabe Kakale as Senator and House of Representative member in the National Assembly respectively.
According to reports the presiding judge, Justice Ibrahim Musa Saulawa, while delivering a verdict on the suit filed by Senator Abubakar Shehu Tambuwal and Aliyu Shehu AA who were sacked by the appellate court on October 30, ruled that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the application. “Once an appeal was heard and decided on by this court it would not go back to it again,” the judge stated as he dismissed the application. The Court of Appeal also awarded the sum of N50,000 cost against the applicants.
