The Supreme Court has ordered a substituted service of all processes relating to the appeal filed by a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, challenging his removal from office on all the defendants in the case.
The order followed an ex parte application moved by Seconɗus’ counsel, Chief Oba Maduabuchi (SAN).
Maduabuchi had sought the leave of the court to serve the notice of appeal filed on November 8, 2021; record of appeal transmitted on November 11, 2021; Appellant brief of argument filed on October 18, 2021 and all other processes in the appeal on the walls of the respondents by substituted means.
Justice Mohammed Musa Dattijo, granted the ex-parte application as prayed.
The Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt had on October 26 dismissed an application challenging the suspension of Secondus from the PDP.
Following the development, Secondus then approached the apex court for an order to quash his suspension and as well restore him to office to complete his four years tenure.
