Court dismisses suit against Oshiomhole

A lawsuit filed against the immediate past Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole and three others have been dismissed by a Federal High Court (FCT) sitting in Jabi, Abuja.

The lawsuit which was filed by Comrade Mustapha Salihu and five others, was the one that led to an order being granted by same court to effect the suspension of Oshiomhole from further acting as chairman of the APC.

The Plaintiffs' lawyer, Oluwola Afolabi who moved a motion to withdraw the case on Thursday July 2, said it was in line with the directive of the leaders of the APC that all court cases be discontinued in the interest of peace.

Oshiomhole's lawyer Ginika Ezeoke who did not oppose the plantiffs' desire to withdraw the case, urged the court to dismiss the suit on the grounds that the parties have filed pleadings and have be enjoined issues in relation to the subject of the case.

Justice Danlami Senchi who ruled on the case, dismissed the suit and ordered the parties involved to bear their respective costs.
