The Supreme Court has ordered a N5 million fine on a former presidential candidate, Ambrose Owuru, for hara&sing President Bola Tinubu with frivolous suits.

Owuru contested the 2019 presidential election against former President Muhammadu Buhari on the platform of the Hope Democratic Party (HDP).
Justice Uwani Musa Aba-Aji issued the order against the former presidential candidate while dismissing his fresh suit praying for the removal of Tinubu as Nigeria's President.

Apart from the N5 million fine, the apex court ordered its Registry not to accept any frivolous suit-originating summons from Owuru again.

At the day's proceedings, Owuru, who claimed to be a lawyer called to the Nigerian Bar in 1984, sought to argue his case wearing his wig and gown.
He was ordered out of the Bar and directed to remove his wig and gown before he could be allowed to argue his case.

Upon complying with the orders, Owuru was asked why he came before the court again, having had his suits dismissed three times.

Although he tried unsuccessfully to convince the Apex Court to grant him adequate audience, his explanations were rejected as unconvincing.
Following his recalcitrant, the court threatened to refer him to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee LPDC.

Justice Aba-Aji ruled that Owuru's conduct was unbecoming of a lawyer of over 40 years, as he claimed to be.
In the end, the Court dismissed his suit and ordered.

In the end, the Court dismissed his suit and ordered him to pay Tinubu N5 million. 

The Court of Appeal had previously imposed a fine of N40 million on Owuru, to be paid to Tinubu, INEC, and others, for filing a suit against them.

In the new suit, Owuru prayed the Supreme Court to invoke Section 157 of the 1999 Constitution to remove Tinubu from office on the grounds of being under the control of foreign authorities.
He also prayed the Supreme Court to declare him Nigeria's President and order his immediate inauguration to reclaim his alleged usurped mandate.
