The court ruled that the petition was baseless because Tinubu wasn’t banned from entering the United States.
Justice Haruna Tsammani ruled that Obi and the Labour Party failed to prove that Tinubu was convicted of money laundering in the US, adding no record of criminal arrest or conviction was established against the APC candidate by the petitioners.
The judge added that Tinubu was not arraigned, did not take plea and there was no sentence of imprisonment imposed on him.
