Justice Munir Ladan handling the Election Tribunal case involving Governor Gabriel Suswam of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP,

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).

All these fighting and wrangling is because of money.
The petitioner who should know that April 2011 election
is not the last election in nigeria, but then would not
understand this for his eyes are on how much he would
loot from the treasury. Have you ever seen a country where
individual don't care about its development.
Just imagine one human being threatening another's life
simple because of power and money. Do you think God is
not watching you and will surely judge you according to
the dictates of your heart and intentions
