The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Apo, Abuja, on Wednesday struck out the name of the Buhari Campaign Organisation from a libel suit the group jointly filed with President Muh
ammadu Buhari against the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
The judge agreed with the contention of Atiku’s lawyer, Mr Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume , to the effect that the BCO was not a juristic person that could sue or be sued. The main suit marked FCT/HC/CV/ 804/2019 was filed by Buhari and the BCO against Atiku and his aide, Phrank Shaibu. The plaintiffs told the court that the defendants also falsely claimed that the President acquired the said companies, using his influence and the control he had over the heads of parastatals or organisations that were connected with the activities of such companies.
