An Abuja Upper Area Court today 3rd of June 2020 has disagreed with the Lawyers of Mahmud Babako of People's Democratic Party in the last general election who. The lawyer who sought to commence trial in the court based on the some allegations of certificate forgery said to have being masterminded by Babako to possibly soil the name of Honourable Ahmed Ndakene, the Honourable Member representing Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency, Mr. Buhari Abubakar Saddiq, Media Aide to Hon Ndakane said via his official statement issued to Newsmen.
Mahmud Babako, the Complainant in the case, contested and lost elections into the House of Representatives and has never failed to show his hatred towards Hon. Ndakene ever since he lost against him. He had since vowed to use the courts to bring down the soaring profile of the House of Representative Member.
The Complainant, out of patent bitterness, prepared and filed a baseless criminal complaints at the Upper Area Court, Abuja in a bid to rattle and distract Hon. Ndakene whose landmark achievements and popularity with his people has become the talk of town.
The court in its profound wisdom admonished the complainant to toe the line of peace, as the Honourable court will only do that which is just and proper. The court, thereafter, released the Honourable Member and adjourned to take a look at the brilliant objections and submissions made by Ndakene's legal team.
Hon. Ndakene challenged the authority of Babako and his Lawyers to try him, since they are not prosecutors and could not produce any fiat from the Attorney General to do so .
Efforts by Babako's Lawyers to convince the court to put Hon. Ndakene in the dock and try him was rebuffed by the brilliant exposition of the law on the matter by Ndakene's legal team. Ndakene argued that neither Babako nor his Lawyers posses the power to try him without following the proper procedures for instituting criminal matters in court.
The court understanding that Babako can not use the temple of justice to seek political vendetta, urged the complainant to toe the line of peace, and refused to dance to the tunes of his Lawyers.
Honourable Ndakene was released by the Court to face his Legislative duties while the case was adjourned to the 11th day of June, 2020 for ruling.
You will recall that, Babako in a bid to obtain Bench Warrant against Hon. Ndakene through the back door and ensure that he was detained by the Court, deliberately refused to serve court summons on the Honourable to notify him of the proceedings in order to incur the wrath of the court which will then order his arrest and detention. The court, however, refused to be used as pawn in Babako's chess and adjourned the case to today. Buhari said
These and many more are the reckless and hopeless antics of Babako (the perennial loser), who has decided to elongate his trail of loss since the 2019 elections by pouring biles on Hon. Ndakene to scuttle his progress.
The good people of Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency, who are the direct beneficiaries of the good work the Hon. Ndakene has been doing since he was elected, trooped out in their numbers to show their solidarity and support. They prayed for God's protection on him and urged him not to be distracted by antics of enemies of progress, He concludes.
