The Court of Appeal in Abuja has set aside the judgement of Justice Olukayode Adeniyi of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, which sacked the Executive Council of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State.

The three-man panel led by Justice Stephen Adah, while delivering Judgement over two judgements brought before the court on Friday, upheld the appeals filed against the judgement of the lower court.

Justice Adah held that the lower court lacked the territorial jurisdiction to have heard the suit brought before it on the dispute over the leadership of the PDP in Anambra State
