A High Court in Benue State has restrained the suspended state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Austin Agada, from parading himself as the chairman of the party following his suspension by his ward executives on Tuesday.
This comes as Agada has accused the Chief of Staff to the Governor of Benue State, Paul Biam, and the Commissioner for Water Resources, Environment and Climate, Ugwu Odoh, of leading policemen and the army to attack the party’s secretariat during a press conference by the Owukpa Ehaje Ward One chairman and his executive members.
The APC chairman of Owukpa Ehaje Ward One explained that the entire exco was at the secretariat to pass a vote of confidence on Agada and distance themselves from those who suspended him.
Meanwhile, Agada told newsmen that the plot to forcefully remove him as chairman over allegations of anti-party activities was the reason for the attack.
