A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Tuesday declared the recently constituted caretaker committee of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) illegal.

Justice Ibrahim Buba in his ruling ordered the Inspector General of Police to ensure that the members of the committee do not take over the Party’s national headquarters and that Ali Modu Sheriff remains the national chairman of the PDP.

On Saturday, the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) and National Working Committee (NWC) were dissolved and a caretaker committee was set up, which is headed by the former governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi.
