The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Thursday voided the April 11, 2019 judgment of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which sacked Ifeanyi Ubah as Senator for Anambra South senatorial district.
A three-man panel of the court, led by Justice Stephen Adah, was unanimous that the judgement delivered by Justice Bello Kawu, was a nullity on the grounds that the originating process was incompetent having not been signed by a lawyer as required; the judgment was given without jurisdiction, and that Ubah was denied fair hearing by the FCT High Court.
