Plateau: Reps minority caucus demands sanction for Appeal Court justices

The Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives has called for sanctions on Appeal Court justices over the removal of Plateau lawmakers on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Recall that the appellate court, which is the final arbiter of National and state houses of assembly elections, had sacked all the PDP lawmakers including two senators, five House of Representatives members and 16 members of the State Assembly on the grounds that the PDP failed to conduct proper congresses as ordered by a high court.

But the Supreme Court in its judgment, which reversed the sack of Governor Caleb Mutfwang on the same subject, held that the appellate court lacked jurisdiction on the matter.

Reacting to the controversy this generated, Chinda Kingsley, the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, in a statement on Tuesday, said the justices, who handled the cases at the appellate court, should be reprimanded to serve as deterrent to other judges who might want to toe such path in future.

He said although the decisions could not be appealed against despite occasioning a grave miscarriage of justice, the justices who handed them down should be reprimanded to serve as a deterrent to other judges who might want to toe this path in future.
