Abok had previously been impeached by the assembly in October 2021.
However, Justice M. L Musa ruled that the impeachment was illegal and therefore null and void.
The court also awarded costs amounting to N1.5 million for appearance and N138,000 for filing the matter against the defendants.

He highlighted that the court’s decision vindicated him from the illegal impeachment and emphasized the need for peaceful proceedings in the assembly.
Abok affirmed his willingness to work harmoniously with the executive, stressing that unity among the members was essential for the peace and progress of the state.
He emphasized that the court’s ruling had clarified the situation surrounding the purported impeachment.
