A High Court of Abia State sitting in Umuahia, on Thursday restrained one of the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Ikechi Emenike, from parading himself as a member of the party.
The court consequently ordered the APC to stop recognising and dealing with Emenike as a member of the party.
