Benue State and his opponent Prof Steve Ugba of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN in the last April election has quit citing threat to
his life and family.
This is barely a month after Justice Daisy Okocha who was assigned the case was advised to discontinue handling of the case by the
President of the Court of Appeal after she had complained about insecurity of her life
Sources close to the Judge told pointblanknews.com that Justice Ladan has been receiving threat calls and message and that his
house in Kaduna was broken into by unknown gun men while valuable electoral materials carted away.
The Election Tribunal had last week Tuesday, dismissed Governor Gabriel Suswam’s motion seeking to terminate the petition filed by
Professor Steve Ugbah of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), challenging his election.
The tribunal also dismissed the motion of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), challenging the jurisdiction of the
tribunal to order the commencement of pre-trial session.
The tribunal, however, ruled in favour of the governor’s motion seeking to regularise the applications brought before it by him and
the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
