For the second time, the Supreme Court on Thursday shifted
hearing in the four appeals on the rivers state APC primary
election for the nomination of candidates for the 2019 general
election to Monday, April 8th and Thursday, April 11th for a
hearing.
The Apex Court adjourned hearing in the matters for various
reasons but mainly for the absence of counsel to INEC who was said
to have missed his flight from Porthacourt.
The Appeals are those of Senator Magnus Abe against INEC and
others, Mr. Tonye Cole against Senator Magnus Abe, the all
progressive congress against the Peoples Democratic Party and the
last one by the ap. Seeking consolidation of all the pending
appeals.
Senator Magnus Abe in his appeal prayed the Apex Court to make a
pronouncement on the authenticity of the direct and indirect
primaries of the APC in Rivers State for the nomination of
candidates.
The appellant specifically wants the court to determine which of
the two appeals is known to law and should be recognized by
INEC.
However, when the matter came up counsel to Senator Abe, Mr.
Henry Bello informed the Apex Court of his motion seeking to amend
his appeal.
The matter was stalled as a result of the absence of the INEC
counsel who is the first respondent.
Although Bello sought an order to stand down the matter to
enable the counsel who was said to be airborne arrive, the Acting
CJN who presided over the panel ruled that the Apex court does not
stand down matters for anybody or group.
This prompted the Acting CJN to adjourn the matter to Monday,
April 8.
In the two other appeals by Mr. Tonye Cole, a factional
governorship candidate of the APC and the party, justice mohamlad
shifted hearing in the matters to april 11 to enable parties file
and exchange necessary processes.
The Acting CJN who led the seven-man panel of the Apex court
also abridged time for the parties to file and exchange papers
because the matters are time bound, being pre-election matters.
However in a fourth appeal by the apc seeking a consolidation of
all existing apoeals relating to the primary elections, the court
adjourned the matter indefinitely for the party to regularise their
processes.

Kidnappers of Buhari’s Prayer Warrior
Nabbed
…. ‘We fought, killed one another after releasing Sheikh’— Gang
Leader Confesses
A notorious kidnapper, Lawal Ibrahim and members of his gang who
abducted Sheikh Ahmad Sulaiman and other clerics in Katsina State
have been arrested by security operatives while trying to flee the
den.
While being interrogated by security operatives, in a video
obtained by PRNigeria, the gang leader said some members of the
terror group brutally attacked and killed one another after
releasing the popular Quranic reciter and other Islamic
clerics.
Ibrahim, a middle-aged man and another accomplice who gave his
name as Isiyah, said ten of them were involved in the abduction of
the renowned Islamic scholar who supported and offered prayers at
political rallies for the re-election bid of President Muhammadu
Buhari in the build-up to the 2019 general elections.
Ibrahim disclosed that he never met or physically saw one Alhaji
Dogo Nalade who he claimed was their ringleader but said Nalade
regularly communicate with them via phone from an undisclosed
hideout.
The notorious kidnapper said they were arrested while trying to
flee their abduction’s den to Obajana town in Kogi State, in search
of legitimate unskilled jobs after quitting their ‘heinous’ trade
of kidnapping.
He disclosed that the weapons they used for operations were
supplied by persons who asked them to use it for their ‘obnoxious
profession’ and thereafter request for commissions.
“Mallam’s release is somehow mysterious. This is because despite
our unyielding resolve to collect ransom from his people and
well-wishers, we later decided to allow him go.
“However, a violent fight broke out between members of our gang.
Two gang-members were initially killed in the forest by some of our
colleagues. Though, the two of us that were arrested luckily fled
the forest to avoid been killed, seven other kidnappers among us
were shot and killed by our aggrieved members,” he added.
Sheikh Ahmed Sulaiman and others regained freedom from
kidnappers on March 27, 2019 after spending about two weeks in the
kidnappers’ den.
The cleric and other victims were kidnapped along Sheme to
Kankara road in Katsina, on their way back to Kano State, after
attending a religious activity in Kebbi State.
