Court sacks Kogi Senator, orders INEC to withdraw certificate of return

After usurping the senate seat of the Kogi East in the National Assembly for three year, Senator Attai Ai’doko finally got the boot Wednesday from a Federal High Court in Abuja.

The court minced no word in ordering Ai’doko to pack his baggage and leave the upper legislative chamber.

A 95-page judgment delivered by Justice Gabriel Kolawole held that Air Vice Marshal Isaac Alfa was the rightful winner the primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Kogi East Senatorial Election, conducted in Idah, on December 7, 2015.

Justice Kolawole who ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw forthwith, the Certificate of Return issued to Aidoko, also ordered the Clerk of the National Assembly to swear in AVM Alfa to replace the sacked lawmaker.
