Former Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Festus Keyamo, has stated that he’ll make an appeal on the N10 million fine that was awarded against him in a suit he filed for the probe of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Also, contained in the suit is the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.

Justice James Omotosho of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja handed the fine to Keyamo on Monday.

Omotosho ordered that N5 million each be paid in favour of Abubakar and the Independent Corrupt Practises and Other Related Offences Commission.

Ayu can’t return as PDP chairman, says Court
The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/84/2023 was regarded as “frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of court processes,” and should be paid at 10 per cent per annum until the cost is finally liquidated.”

A statement issued by John Ainetor (Esq), Assistant Head of Festus Keyamo Chambers, Abuja Office, read, “Earlier today, a Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed the case filed by Festus Keyamo, SAN, CON, against the candidate of the PDP in the last Presidential Election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar over the SPV saga principally because the court was of the opinion that the law-enforcement agencies were not given enough time to commence investigations before the suit was filed, amongst other sundry reasons.

“Our client respectfully disagrees with the reasons for the said decision because the law-enforcement agencies did not indicate their willingness to commence investigations, even if they were given more time. We want to establish a legal principle that the society cannot wait as infinitum for law-enforcement agencies to do their statutory duties.”

“The suit was designed to prompt the agencies to show their readiness to investigate. We are immediately filing an appeal against the said decision to the Court of Appeal as the struggle on this issue continues.”

If he is Lucky, the court might trash it out but I don't see it happening. He should just pay his 10Million jejely and avoid Stress.

Power is indeed transient. That judge wouldn't dare had they been in power

Lol... Festus Keyamo a.k.a SANdalili must be the holder of the record of the most defeated SAN in our courts. 😂😂😂

What is this one again? 😂

They even had to issue a N10m fine against him for bringing a stup¡d case before the court. 😂😂😂

In the run up to the 2023 elections - Festus Keyamo was worse than an Errand Boy👦 😂

He displayed extremely high moronic tendencies and intellectual debility 🤡

Thank God the judges confirmed it today.

Corruption brought Keyamo to the level of SAN.
