Judge transfers suit seeking Saraki’s removal

Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court, Abuja on Wednesday transferred a suit filed by some senators seeking to annul the election of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to another Judge.

Five APC senators, Abu Ibrahim, Kabiru Marafa, Ajayi Boroffice, Gbenga Ashafa, and Suleiman Hunyuki had filed the suit seeking nullification of the June 9 election of Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.

However, Justice Kolawole withdrew from the case during Wednesday sitting, saying that he would not have sufficient time to hear the matter as his tenure as a vacation judge would end on Friday.
