Supreme Court reinstates impeached Taraba Deputy governor
Former
Deputy Governor of Taraba State, Alhaji Sanni Danladi, who was
impeached by the state House of Assembly in October 2012 under
questionable circumstances has been reinstated as the new governor of
the state by the Supreme court of Nigeria. Alhaji Danladi served as the
deputy governor of the state under Dambaba Suntai who is now very ill.
Delivering
its judgement today, the Supreme Court led by Justice Sylvester Ngwuta,
ruled that the impeachment panel set up by the House of Assembly to
investigate all the allegations leveled against Danladi did not give him
fair hearing as he was not given any opportunity to speak for himself
during any of the panels proceedings.
The panel also failed to honor a court injunction secured by the deputy governor challenging its composition.
