The plaintiffs had requested the dismissal of Abure and the other three national officers of the party in an ex-parte action with the file number M/7082/2023, and the judge had granted their request with an order of suspension.
Following the parties’ arguments, the judge agreed to grant the request for a stay of execution awaiting the outcome of the defendants’ appeal.
