Appeal Court reinstates Abure as LP national chairman
The Appeal Court in Abuja has reinstated Julius Abure as the national chairman of the Labour Party.
Justice Hamma Barka in a judgement delivered on Wednesday faulted the High Court for assuming jurisdiction in the matter.
The Court also awarded N1 million in favour of Abure and against the respondent, Lamidi Apapa.
Last year, Justice Hamza Muazu of the Abuja High Court, ordered Abure and two other national officers to vacate their seats over alleged forgery.
But the Appeal Court set the verdict aside and held that Abure’s appeal had merit.
After the 2023 presidential elections, Abure has been in a legal battle with Apapa who laid claim to the party’s chairmanship.
On March 21, 2024, Abure was arrested by the Police in Benin City, Edo State, and was accused of attempted murder, illegal possession of firearms, and related offences.
He was later released on bail.
