High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Jabi, Abuja, on Thursday, dismissed a suit filed against the immediate past Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole and three others.
The suit, filed by Comrade Mustapha Salihu and five others, was the one in respect of which the court granted an interim order on March 4 this year, suspending Oshiomhole from further acting as the APC’s National Chairman.
Court of Appeal,Abuja, in its June 16 judgment upheld Oshiomhole’s suspension.
Parties were to return to the High Court of the FCT for determination of the substantive suit, when on Thursday, plaintiff’s lawyer, Oluwola Afolabi, moved a motion to withdraw the case.
Afolabi said the suit’s withdrawal was informed by the directive by leaders of the APC that all court cases be discontinued in the interest of peace.
Oshiomhole’s counsel, Ginika Ezeoke, said she was not opposed to the plaintiffs’ desire to withdraw the suit.
Ezeoke then urged the court to dismiss the suit.
Justice Danlami Senchi then dismissed the suit and ordered parties to bear their respective costs.
