Abia State Governor,
Okezie Ikpeazu has won one of five appeals at Appeal Court in Abuja on
Thursday. The five-member panel of judges led by Morenikeji Ogunwumiju on
Thursday said the lower court made a “summersault” when it entertained
matters that had already been transmitted to the appellate court.
The judgment which was delivered by Philomena Ekpe said the
lower court had no business entertaining further applications on the matter
and did not have right to adjourn the matter.
“From the above submission the said issue hereby resolved in
view of the appellant against the first respondent. Consequently this appeal is
deemed meritorious and it is hereby allowed,” She said.
“The decision of the lower court delivered 28th July 2016 is
hereby set aside and the cost of N100,000 is hereby awarded in favour of the
appellant.”
