THE spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mister Festus Keyamo, is seeking an order of the Federal High Court, Abuja, to effect service of the originating summons and all subsequent processes, in the suit instituted against the presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, by substituted means.
In a suit no marked FHC/ABJ/CS/84/2023, Mister Keyamo is praying that the order be granted as the itinerary of Atiku Abubakar, is unpredictable at this period of campaigns and it would be difficult to locate him for the purpose of personal service.
He added that the retinue of security personnel and aides around the presidential candidate will make it difficult to access him.
News Point Nigeria reports that, last week, Keyamo filed a writ of summons at the Federal High Court in Abuja against Atiku Abubakar, over corruption allegations.
He also also named the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), Independent Corrupt Practices Commission and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants respectively.
The plaintiff then, asked the court to compel the 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants to investigate, invite and or arrest the 1st defendant, Abubakar, over corruption allegations relating to a certain bank belonging to a company named Marine Float and other accounts of two undisclosed companies, which information Keyamo says was divulged to a certain aide by the name micheal achimugu.
