A federal capital territory (FCT) high court has dismissed the objection raised by Julius Abure challenging his removal as chairman of the Labour Party (LP).
Ruling on an ex parte application on April 5, Hamza Muazu, the presiding judge, had restrained Abure and three others — Farouk Ibrahim, Clement Ojukwu, and Oluchi Opara — from acting as national officers of the LP.
The plaintiffs in the suit marked CV/2930/2023 told the court that the defendants forged several documents of the FCT high court to carry out unlawful substitutions in the last elections.
The defendants, through their lawyer, Alex Ejesieme, filed a preliminary objection against the suit.
Ejesieme said the allegation of forgery against his clients cannot be brought before the court through originating summon.
He also alleged that the plaintiffs are not members of the LP and therefore, lack the locus standi to institute the suit.
