by Ranti Joseph

Former governor of Adamawa state, Murtala Nyako suit challenging his impeachment by Adamawa state house of assembly has been dismissed by a Federal High Court in Yola.

According to Leadership, the  presiding judge, Justice Bilikus Bello Aliyu while delivering judgment on Thursday said the case brought before her by Nyako was an abuse of court process as three suits are pending before competent courts of law on the same issue and as such she cannot entertain the suit.

“This suit is an abuse of this court and courts should protect themselves from abuse,” she said.

She, in the course of delivering the ruling upheld the objection of the counsel to first respondent Leonard Zadon that the same case is pending before three high courts stressing it is an abuse of court process.

Aliyu had earlier upheld the appellant argument that his right was grossly infringed upon by the respondent citing section 36 of the 1999 constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.

“I cannot continue with this case as the court runs concurrently,” she added.

The post Court dismisses Nyako’s suit to return as Governor appeared first on YNaija.
