Governor Mbah, represented by his lawyer, Emeka Ozoani SAN, sought to move an application for an interlocutory injunction restraining the National Youth Service Corps from appearing before the Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Enugu to give evidence over the certificate scandal.
In his rulling, the judge noted that the Court will not entertain any such application.
Justice Ekwo told the lawyer to forget about the injunction and concentrate on the main suit.
The court later adjourned to Tuesday, July 11, 2023 to hear the preliminary objection challenging the competence of the suit filed by the NYSC.
