The Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday dismissed Mr Keyamo's suit against Atiku for being frivolous.
A former Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Festus Keyamo, has vowed to go on appeal over his suit seeking the arrest and prosecution of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last presidential election, Atiku Abubakar.
“Earlier today , a Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed the case filed by Festus Keyamo, SAN, CON, against the candidate of the PDP in the last Presidential Election, Alhaji ATIKU Abubakar over the SPV saga principally because the court was of the opinion that the law-enforcement agencies were not given enough time to commence investigations before the suit was filed, amongst other sundry reasons.
In response to the suit, Atiku, through his counsel Mr Ozekhome, raised a preliminary objection to the suit, contending that Mr Keyamo lacked the basis to institute the said suit, having failed to disclose what he suffered over and beyond other members of the public. He further contended that the suit was instituted in bad faith; frivolous; vexatious and therefore a waste of judicial time.that the judge, Mr Omotosho, agreed with Mr Ozekhome in his judgement that Mr Keyamo lacked the ‘locus standi’ to institute the suit.
