The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Thursday, dismissed a suit seeking an order directing Senator Ovie Omo-Agege to vacate his seat as a senator and Deputy Senate President.
The suit filed by a civil society group, Empowerment for Unemployed Youth Initiative, is anchored on the grounds that Omo-Agege allegedly has a record of previous criminal convictions in the United States of America.
“It is manifestly clear from the judgment alluded to that there was no convicted as alleged,” Justice Mohammed held. “It is precisely the intention of this suit to relitigate the issue already laid to rest by the judgment of the FCT High Court.”
