Supreme court sacks APC federal lawmaker
The Supreme Court has sacked Mustapha Usman, the APC House of Representatives member, representing Yola South/Yola North/Girei Federal Constituency of Adamawa State.
His first runner-up in the party’s primary will now take his position.
A five-man panel of the court, in a unanimous judgment on Tuesday, upheld an appeal marked: SC/790/2019 from Abdulra’uf Abdulkadir Modibo also of the APC.
The apex court held that aside that Usman forged his credentials, he also did not participate in the National Youth Service Corps scheme.
Justice John Okoro, who led the panel, also ruled that Modibo, who came second in the APC primary, should be issued certificate of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
