HUDU BEGS YOLA HIGH COURT TO STAY PROCEEDINGS
The suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Barr. Hudu Yunusa Ari, on Thursday, pleaded with Adamawa State High Court to adjourn the case against him sine die. News Platform
Hudu approached the court presided by Justice Benjamin Manji Lawan, through his counsel, M. Tijanni, with an application asking the court to stay proceedings in the substantive case.
In an application dated 21st January, 2025, the defendant prayed the court to grant his application pending the ruling in his application he had filed before Court of Appeal Yola Division.
Responding, Counsel to the state, Chief L. D. Nzadon, vehemently opposed the application, describing it as direct affront to the rule of law and administration of criminal justice law.
Chief Nzadon, informed the court that the administration of criminal justice law clearly states that no application in relation to criminal matter shall be entertained by the court and urged the court dismiss it.
After the submissions of both Counsels, the presiding judge adjourned the matter to the 30th January, 2025 for ruling.
