Court Stops Abure, Farouk Ibrahim, Two Others From Parading Themselves As Labour Party National Officers

The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure has been stopped from parading himself as the party’s national chairman.

Naija News reports that this is as a Federal Capital Territory High Court has on Wednesday issued an order restraining him, the party’s National Secretary, Farouk Ibrahim and two others from parading themselves as national officers of the Labour Party.

It was gathered that the two other officers of the Labour Party who were affected included the National Organising Secretary, Clement Ojukwu and the Treasurer, Oluchi Opara.

Justice Hamza Muazu issued the restraining order while ruling in an ex-parte application argued by one James Onoja.

Onoja in the application, told the court how Abure and the others allegedly forged several documents of the FCT High Court to carry out unlawful substitutions in the last general elections.

Among the documents were the receipts, seals and affidavits of the Court to carry out criminal activities.

The Senior Counsel as learnt from channels TV also tendered several documents, confirming to the Judge that the Chief Registrar of the Court, wrote the Labour Party to disown several documents used for the alleged criminal activities by Abure and three others.

Onoja submitted that following their indictment by the police investigation, the four people are to be arraigned in court adding that warrants for their arrest have already been obtained.

In his ruling, Justice Muazu held that the application and the supporting affidavits are a good case for the request to be granted.

He therefore subsequently ordered that the four officers be immediately stopped from parading themselves as National Officers of the Labour Party.
