Court dismisses move to stop suspended Adamawa REC, Yunusa-Ari’s prosecution

Justice Donatus U. Okorowo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, dismissed an application seeking to stop the prosecution of the suspended Adamawa Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa-Ari.

The judge gave the verdict in an application filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Adamawa State, Aisha “Binani” Dahiru.

The REC caused uproar throughout the country in March when he declared the APC candidate as the winner of the election while the collation of the results was ongoing.
