“As lawmakers, our caucus further holds that the Federal High Court has, by this judgement, further strengthened the confidence and trust of the citizens in the judiciary as the last hope of the common man, particularly in a democratic setting.

“The caucus strongly hopes and believes that in all, justice will prevail at the end of the day in Senator Ekweremadu’s matter,” the statement said.  

It could be recalled that a Federal High Court, Abuja vacated an earlier interim assets forfeiture Order on 40 properties allegedly linked to former Deputy President of the Senator, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
