The Court also declared Aggah did not score the highest valid votes in the election.
The tribunal, sitting in High Court 4, also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to return Muhammad Adam Alkali of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) as valid winner of the February 26, 2022 bye-election.
The tribunal in a consensus judgement led by its chairman, Justice Hope O. Ozoh, Khadi Usman Umar and Justice Zainab M. Bashir held that the petitioners have proved their case against Aggah beyond reasonable doubt.
