At the sitting on Monday, Barrister May Abamuche SAN announced his appearance for the petitioners.

After him, another lawyer, Malaki Nwaipe rose up and announced appearance for the first petitioner, AA, saying he has a motion seeking to withdraw his client from the case because it did not instruct the filing of the petition.

But Justice Haruna Tsammani discountenanced Nwaipe’s appearance because court record showed Abamuche as the lawyer who filed the petition.

“In the absence of any objection from respondents. Consequently, the petition is hereby dismissed,” the panel held.
