Justice Audu Bako, a member of the panel hearing petition seeking to cancel the poll victory of governor Ibrahim Gaidam of Yobe state, has died.
He passed away around 2p.m. on August 26 at Primus hospital, Karu, a district in Abuja, after a short illness.
Bako was buried in his home town, Nasarawa, Nasarawa state, according to Islamic traditions.
The judge was a member of the three-member panel of Yobe state governorship election petitions tribunal that had, on August 12, heard how Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) traced the origin of N15 million that was lodged into the bank accounts of a resident electoral commissioner.
Alh Waziri, the governorship candidate of the PDP had dared the election of governor Gaidam of the All Progressives Congress on the ground that he was wrongfully announced the winner of the April 11 governorship poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
