A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking the disqualification of former Petroleum Resources Minister, Timipire Sylva,
Justice Ekwo said that the purported police reports were worthless and products of illegality because police were not mandated by any provisions of law to do what they did in favour of the plaintiff.
Besides, Justice Ekwo held that most of the documents brought by the plaintiff were done through the back doors in disregard to the well-known established procedures. Ekwo said, “In all, I find the case of the plaintiff to be weak having not been established by preponderance of evidence as required by law.
