Court bars Aliu Bello from acting as Nasarawa APC chairman

A Senior District Court 3, Lafia, Nasarawa, on Thursday, restrained Aliyu Bello, the embattled chair of the All Progressives Congress from presenting himself as the leader or a member of the party.
This followed a motion filed by Suleiman Turaki, counsel to Ibrahim Iliyasu, the chairperson of APC in Gayam Electoral Ward of Lafia LGA.
On July 1, Mr Iliyasu, alongside 13 other officials of the party in the ward, suspended Mr Bello from the party over alleged anti-party activities.
The order signed by Abdullahi Lanze, the court’s judge, stated that the prayer was granted after hearing the application presented by the applicant’s counsel.
The order specifically restrained Mr Bello, his agents, privies, supporters or any person acting on his behalf, authority, or direction, from presenting himself as a member or chairman of the party.
The court also barred Bello from issuing statements, carrying out functions, or acting in any manner whatsoever, through the media or otherwise, as a member or chairman of the APC.
This would be pending the hearing and determination of the motion, as per the notice.
