PDP demands removal of Justices Omotosho, Lifu, Abdulmalik from cases

Turaki

The Peoples Democratic Party has expressed concern over the repeated assignment of its cases to Justices James Omotosho, Peter Lifu, and Mohammed Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division.

In a petition addressed to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, dated November 19 and signed by the party’s National Secretary, Taofeek Arapaja, the PDP raised alarm over the persistent allocation of matters either filed by the party or brought against it to these three judges.

The petition cited recent rulings that have significantly impacted the party.

Justice Omotosho, in a suit filed by Austin Nwachukwu, Amah Nnanah, and Turnah George — the PDP Chairmen for Imo and Abia States and South-South Zonal Secretary, respectively — restrained the party from proceeding with its national elective convention, citing non-compliance with the party’s constitution.
