ADC, Accord, other three Parties deregistration suit dismissed

News Update

THE Court of Appeal in Abuja has voided and set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court which ordered the proscription of the African Democratic Congress ADC, Accord Party and three others.

The appellate court in a judgment on Tuesday held that the Forum of Former Legislators, which filed the deregistration suit have no locus standi to have instituted the matter.

The Federal High Court judgment delivered by Justice Peter Odo Lifu was consequently voided, set aside and thrown out.

In the unambiguous judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal panel led by Justice Abba Bello, a penalty of N1 million was awarded against the former legislators that filed the case.
