Court of Appeal sacks APC Senator, Reps member

The Court of Appeal, Sokoto Division on Wednesday returned Senator Ibrahim Danbaba and Balarabe Kakale as Senator and House of Representatives member in the National Assembly for Sokoto State respectively.
In a short judgement read by Justice Frederick Oho, the court said the appeal filed by Danbaba and Kakale, both candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party during 2019 elections, have succeeded and details of the judgement will be given later.
Oho set aside the judgements delivered by the Sokoto State Election Petitions Tribunal which dismissed the appellants petitions in favour of the respondents, who are All Progressive Congress candidates.
The APC candidates that won the elections and occupying the seats at present are Alhaji Abubakar Shehu-Tambuwal for Sokoto South Senatorial District and Aliyu Shehu, representing Bodinga/Dange-Shuni/Tureta Federal Constituency.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalled that the Appeal Court had on Tuesday also ordered fresh election in Sokoto North/Sokoto South Federal Constituency of Sokoto State.
The Court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct the election within 90 days.
The case was filed by Abubakar Abdullahi, candidate of the PDP, against the election of the incumbent House of Representatives member, Alhaji Bala Hassan of APC.
