Members of the African Democratic Congress have staged a protest at the Federal High Court in Abuja, demanding the release of the Certified True Copy of the judgment nullifying the party’s National Working Committee led by former Senate President, David Mark.
The protesters, who called on the National Judicial Council to intervene, accused the trial judge, Justice Peter Lifu, of withholding the judgment delivered on November 5, thereby frustrating their efforts to challenge the decision at the Court of Appeal.
Speaking during the protest on Wednesday, a former Acting Chairman of the ADC in the Federal Capital Territory, Yusuf Shehu Tijani, described the judgment as a “sham” and urged the judge to release its certified copy.
“Our reason for coming here today is what Justice Lifu is doing. He is holding on to the sham judgment he said he passed. He should send the CTC, so that we can get it and appeal the judgment.
