The Court of Appeal in Abuja has suspended the execution of the judgment delivered by Justice Peter Lifu deregistering the African Democratic Party (ADC), Action Peoples Party (APP), Action Alliance (AA), Accord Party (AP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP),
The appellate court described the development as the highest form of judicial impertinence, stating that the trial judge brazenly disregarded its earlier order.
The panel of justices held that Justice Lifu exhibited judicial rascality by going ahead to hear and make the order despite the order of the Court of Appeal and the pendency of the matter before the court.
It ordered a stay of the execution of the judgment. (Channels)
