LEGAL WAR SURPRISES CONTINUE!!!

Abuja (9News Nigeria) – Abuja Federal High Court had on Tuesday ordered that the 16 lawmakers from Ebonyi should vacate their seats after their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to the ruling judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment, ordered the lawmakers to stop parading themselves as representatives of the people after dumping the party on which platform they were elected into the house of assembly.

Among the lawmakers sacked include Odefa Obasi Odefa, Victor Chukwu, Kingsley Ikoro, Joseph Ununu, Nkemka Okoro, among others.

The court had earlier sacked Governor Umahi and his deputy over defection to APC.
