The Supreme Court on Wednesday affirmed its earlier ruling, ordering the sack of the House of Representative member representing Vandikya/Konshisha constituency of Benue state, Hon. Herman Hembe. The Court which was headed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Onnoghen also reaffirmed the order directing the sacked House Member to return all salaries and allowances collected while serving illegally as a member of the House of Representatives.

Justice Onnoghen while delivering judgment on a fresh application filed by Hon. Hembe struck out the application on the basis that the court could not upturn its own judgment whether right or wrong.


Recall that the ousted member had sought the court to overturn its earlier ruling seeking him to refund all salaries and allowances.
