A High Court in Doma, the headquarters of Doma Local Government Area in Nasarawa State, has extended its order restraining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from conducting its congresses in the state.
The court initially issued the restraining order on September 27, 2024, following a motion filed by 16 PDP members led by Senator Mohammed Ogoshi-Onawo (PDP, Nasarawa South).
The plaintiffs brought the case against the PDP as the first respondent, Mr Francis Orogu, the PDP chairman in Nasarawa State, as the second respondent, and the State Working Committee as the third respondent.
Justice Abdullahi Shams-Shammah extended the order on Thursday after hearing arguments from both the plaintiffs’ and respondents’ legal representatives.
The judge extended the restraining order and scheduled the next hearing for Tuesday, October 8, 2024.
Counsel for the plaintiffs, Ishaka Mudi-Diko (SAN), had earlier requested an extension of the restraining order to maintain the status quo until the court reaches a final decision on the matter.
