A Federal High Court in Abuja has imposed a one million Naira fine on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its National Secretary, Rauf Aregbesola. The fine stems from their application requesting the presiding judge to recuse themselves from a case involving Gombe State. The court deemed the application unwarranted, leading to the financial penalty. Details of the underlying suit remain unclear, but the ruling indicates the court viewed the recusal request as a delaying tactic or an attempt to influence proceedings. Vanguard News reported the judgment on Tuesday. This decision underscores the court’s authority to address perceived abuses of process and discourage frivolous applications. The ADC and Aregbesola are now required to pay the fine.
