The Supreme Court has sacked Herman Hembe, the lawmaker representing Vandeikya/ Konshisha federal constituency of Benue State at the House of Representatives.

The court ruled that Hembe was not the valid candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2015 National Assembly election.

Also, the Apex court also ordered that the ousted lawmaker be replaced by Dorathy Mato, who was declared the right winner of the APC primaries.

Hembe was also ordered to return all the salaries and allowances he received as lawmaker since he was sworn in in 2015.
