A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a case filed against the eligibility of Musa Adamu to contest the by-election to represent Babura/Garki
Delivering the judgement on Tuesday, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu said the plaintiff, Mr Dantiye, failed to prove the allegation against Mr Adamu beyond reasonable doubt.
“It is the view of this court that the case of the plaintiff has failed and it is hereby dismissed”, she said. “The plaintiff have failed to write to WAEC to answer whether the certificate belong to the 2nd dependent or not. They also did not present someone who lays claim to ownership of the said certificate.”
She disagreed with the plantiff’s lawyers on the similarities between the case and a recent case which led to disqualification of a deputy governorship candidate in Bayelsa State.
