On Wednesday,11th of February 2015, A Federal High Court in Abuja struck out a case challenging the eligibility of President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2015 election, after four plaintiffs who filed the case withdrew it. Justice Ahmed Mohammed quashed the case after the plaintiffs, Junaidu Mohammed, Tunde Samuel, Rasak Adeogun and Yahaya Ezeemoo Ndu, said they were discontinuing.
The judge asked the plaintiffs to pay N50, 000 as cost to Mr. Jonathan. Counsel to the plaintiffs, Alex Akoja, who appeared in court on Wednesday, said the plaintiffs gave the instruction to withdraw the suit and the notice of discontinuance was subsequently filed on February 4.
Mr. Jonathan’s counsel, Ade Okeanya-Inneh, did not oppose the application but asked for cost on behalf of the other lawyers.
