Taraba: Appeal Court Upholds Removal Of Sen Abba

A Court of Appeal sitting in Yola yesterday upheld the ruling of Taraba State Election Petitions Tribunal which sacks Senator Bashir Marafa Abba of PDP as senator representing Taraba central senatorial district.

The three judges that oversee the case, Justice Jummai Hanatu Sankey, Justice Doubele Abraham and Justice Maiwada unanimously agreed that the appeal filed by Marafa lacked merit hence its dismissal.
The judges in their judgement that lasted for about two hours agreed with the decision of the lower court sacking Marafa as senator representing Taraba central.

The election petitions tribunal had earlier sacked Senator Marafa for election malpractices and declare Yusuf of APC as the winner of the senatorial election.

Speaking after the judgement, the Taraba State chairman of APC, Alhaji Hassan Jika Ardo, expressed satisfaction with the verdict and lauded the judiciary for living up to expectation.

Ardo urged APC supporters in the state to continue to remain calm as the party continues its search for justice in the courts of law noting that with the present mindset of judges to uphold the truth, very soon the party will recover all of its stolen mandates.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
