BREAKING: Appeal Court Halts Arrest Order On INEC Chairman, Yakubu
A Court of Appeal has reportedly halted the arrest order on the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The arrest order on the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Mahmoud Yakubu, has been halted by a Court of Appeal in Abuja, TVC News reports.
A federal high Court had last week ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to arrest the INEC chairman and produce him in court on August 14 to face contempt charge for violating its order.
The Justice Stephen Pam-led Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, had ruled that the INEC boss be arrested for refusing to appear before it for the third time.
Mahmoud is also wanted in court to defend a contempt proceeding filed by the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Anambra state Ejike Oguebego and the Legal Adviser of the stateâs PDP Chuks Okoye.
