The Court of Appeal, sitting in Ibadan yesterday, sacked Iyiola Omisore, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation. He ceases to be a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The three-member panel, headed by Clara Ogunbiyi, unanimously ruled that the April 14, 2007 election in which Mr. Omisore was declared the winner, was characterised by widespread irregularities and non-compliance with the Electoral Act of 2003.
