Category: Nigeria National News
A Court of Appeal sitting in Yola, Adamawa state has reversed the July
15th 2014 impeachment of Murtala Nyako as governor of Adamawa State. The
former Governor who was accused of misappropriation of public funds
while in office, was impeached after 17 of 25 members of the Adamawa
State House of Assembly voted against him at the state house of
Assembly.
Delivering judgement in an appeal filed by Nyako today February 11th,
the Court of Appeal ruled that the process leading to his impeachment
contravened the provisions of the Law. Justice Tunde Ayotoye who read
the unanimous judgement, said Nyako was not given fair hearing during
his impeachment and that his rights were violated by the Assembly
members.
The court in its ruling, ordered that all his entitlement before and
after leaving office should be paid. The judges however dismissed
Nyako's appeal to be reinstated as Governor of the state. The judges
ruled that his tenure as governor had elapsed.
