The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a suit filed by Senator Mustapha Mohammed seeking the disqualification of Muhammed Enagi as Senator representing Niger South Senatorial District.
Justice Mary Odili, in a lead judgment, held that the case was dismissed based on the motion on notice brought by Mohammed.
Odili dismissed the appeal having been withdrawn by the counsel to the appellant without any objection and there shall be no order as to cost.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Sen. Mustapha Sani Mohammed, petitioned the National Judicial Council, NJC.
He demanded an investigation into alleged judicial conspiracy, delay and incredible transfer of a case he filed at the Federal High Court five months ago challenging his arbitrary replacement as the All Progressives Congress, APC’s flag-bearer in the Niger South Senatorial District, even after winning the party’s primary election in the district.
Mohammed, in the suit instituted on Oct. 30, 2018, demanded an explanation as to why his name was replaced with that of Bima Mohammed Enagi, who he said was not even screened to contest the primaries.
