A Magistrate’s Court sitting in Abuja has thrown out a criminal summons suit filed by Chinasa Nwaneri, an aide to Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, against the spokesman of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), Ikenga Ugochinyere, for lacking in merit.
In the summons, Nwaneri had alleged that Ugochinyere was involved in fraud perpetrated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in voter registration in 18 states including Imo.
The case had earlier been filed before a Federal High Court in the FCT where Justice M. A Hassan suspended further proceedings on the matter pending the hearing of the application for judicial review filed by Ugochinyere.
