Imo West: Onyeriri seeks transfer of case against Okorocha

The People’s Democratic Party’s candidate in the Imo West Senatorial election, Hon Jones Onyeriri is seeking the discontinuation of the trial of the suit involving him, the All Progressives Congress candidate, Chief Rochas Okorocha and six others by Honourable Justice Taiwo Taiwo.

Following the refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission to grant him Certificate of Return, the APC candidate in the just concluded National Assembly election, Rochas Okorocha approached the Federal High Court for redress. Although, the Returning Officer of the Imo West Senatorial election, Professor Innocent Ibeawuchi declared Okorocha winner of the election, he renounced the announcement, stating that he did it under duress, alleging Okorocha’s threats and intimidation.

The suit came up for hearing on Friday, 5th of April, 2019 before Honourable Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Abuja Judicial Division of the Federal High Court of Nigeria.
