The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has struck out a request for a stay of execution brought before it by the embattled Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, and his deputy, Kelechi Igwe.
The two persons had approached the court seeking a stay of execution on the court order which sacked them from office based on their defection from the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
But Justice Inyang Ekwo in his ruling on Monday, said it couldn’t entertain the request because the matter is already before the Court Of Appeal.
