LP ticket: Appellant heads to Supreme Court, as Court of Appeal delivers judgment without parties

Court

From Idu Jude, Abuja

Hon. Ihie Jonah Onah, aspirant for Obi/Oju Federal Constituency, has approached the Supreme Court after the Court of Appeal delivered judgment via Zoom without notifying the parties.

Onah, who sued INEC and others over the Labour Party primary, said the court reserved judgment for a date to be communicated but later delivered it online without informing him or his lawyer.

He described the process as bizarre and threatened to petition the National Judicial Council over alleged misconduct.

Counsel Bashir S. Ahmad confirmed the appeal was reserved and that time limits for further action had begun running without their knowledge.

Onah vowed to pursue the case of alleged ticket racketeering until justice is served.
