A Federal High Court in Kano has set aside a ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja which suspended Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The decision was made on Thursday, March 5.
It is uncertain whether the court has the jurisdiction to set aside the previous ruling. However, Justice Lewis Allagoa, who gave the judgement, ordered the police and Department of State Service (DSS) to provide security for Oshiomhole to resume his office.
According to Vanguard, Justice Lewis Alagoa ordered that the status quo ante Bellum be maintained, adding that pending the hearing of the motion on notice by the applicant Aliyu Muhammad Rabiu, the defendants (the APC, Oshiomhole, IG of Police, INEC and DGSS) should not give effect to the purported resolution of Ward 10, Etsako local government area, which suspended Comrade Oshiomhole.
