The scheduled hearing in the appeal by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has been put off by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
The court had last week sent notices of hearing to parties in the appeal.
When parties got to court on Monday, a panel of three Justices, led by Justice Stephen Adah, sat to hear other cases.
But the panel later rose, with a promise that another panel will be reconstituted to hear Oshiomhole’s appeal.
Parties were, however, taken aback when, rather than having a new panel, a female official of the court announced to a packed courtroom that the court has elected to hear Oshiomhole’s appeal at a later date to be communicated to parties.
Oshiomhole, who had been in court since a little over 8am, told newsmen that he would await the court’s decision in the case.
Oshiomhole’s appeal is against an earlier judgment of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, which, among others, restrained him from acting as the National Chairman of the APC.
