The Supreme Court on Monday has ruled on Suit seeking to remove Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President of Nigeria.
Ambrose Albert Owuru, the 2019 presidential of the Hope Democratic Party (HDP) had prayed for the removal of Tinubu as President.
The apex in its judgement on Monday, however imposed a N5 million fine on Owuru, for harassing President Tinubu with a frivolous and vexatious suit.
Justice Uwani Musa Aba-Aji issued the order against the former presidential candidate while dismissing his fresh suit praying for the removal of Tinubu as Nigeria’s President.
Apart from the N5 million fine, the apex court ordered its Registry not to accept any frivolous originating summons from Owuru again.
At Monday’s proceedings, Owuru, who claimed to be a lawyer called to the Nigerian Bar in 1984, sought to argue his own case wearing his wig and gown.
He was ordered out of the Bar and directed to remove his wig and gown before he could be allowed to argue his case.
Upon complying with the orders, Owuru was asked why he came before the court again, having had his suits dismissed three times.
Although he tried to convince the Apex Court to grant him adequate audience, his explanations were rejected as unconvincing.
Justice Aba-Aji ruled that Owuru’s conduct was unbecoming of a lawyer of over 40 years, as he claimed to be.
The Court, consequently dismissed his suit and ordered him to pay President Tinubu N5 million
