The Supreme Court has struck out the suit filed by Senator
Magnus Abe on the primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers
State.
In a unanimous judgment read on Monday by the Acting Chief
Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Ibrahim Mohammed, the apex court dismissed the
application on the ground that it lacks merit.
The court also noted that the suit is incompetent and a
gross violation of order 2 rule 8 of the supreme court rules. It held that once
a notice of appeal has been found defective, it cannot be amended.
