The Appeal court sitting in Sokoto has dismissed the appeal brought to it by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara state challenging the judgment of the lower court which upheld the party primaries of the party in the state.

In a judgment delivered by a three-member panel of judges unanimously dismissed the appeal following its withdrawal by the appellant, Aminu Jaji.

Earlier this week, it was reported that about three judges of the Appeal Court in Sokoto withdrew from the case over bribery allegation to the tune of $3million (dollars).

Kabiru Marafa – a respondent, alleged that there was bribery allegation against the judges which made them lose confidence in them.
Counsel to Senator Marafa, Barrister Muhammad Nuhu, alleged that there was a posting on social media platform, alleging that the judges had received three million Dollars from one Kabiru Kamba to compromise.

“Because of that my client is not comfortable with them and urge the president of the Court of Appeal to constitute a new panel to entertain the case,” he said.

Responding to the allegation, the presiding Judge, Justice Ahmed Belgori said they have decided to disqualify themselves from the case over the grievous allegation in view of the present situation in the judiciary and the country.
