The Ebonyi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has petitioned the State Chief Judge, Justice Anselm Nwigwe, over alleged unlawful connivance and meddling by a staff of the court and others to frustrate its appeal.
The PUNCH reports that the appeal came on the heels of preliminary issues bordering on jurisdiction raised by its counsel, Chief K. C. O. Njamanze (SAN), on December 21, 2020, which led the party to file a notice of appeal and motion for stay of proceeding on the same day.
The petition was dated January 6, 2020 and titled, ‘Complaint of unlawful connivance and underhand activities to frustrate our appeal in Suit No: HAB/161/2020; Chief Onyekachi Nwebonyi & two others vs PDP & 11 others by Mr Ezinwa Ogudu, the Head, Appeal Department of High Court’.
