Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court in Abuj‎a on Wednesday refused to hear two separate suits filed by a former Chairman, Appropriation Committee, House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, in relation to his travails which followed the crisis of alleged budget padding in the lower legislative chamber.

Justice Abang, who is currently sitting ‎as a vacation judge, refused to hear the suit on Wednesday because the plaintiff failed to obtain the court’s leave to have his cases heard during the ongoing vacation.

A plaintiff who files a suit during the court’s vacation is expected to file an ex parte motion to prove to the judge that his or her suit is a matter of urgency which its hearing should not be delayed.

On Wednesday, Dogara’s lawyer, Mr. Abdulhamid Mohammed, urged the court to hear him out on the two cases which were both listed for hearing, but the judge turned down the request on the grounds of the counsel’s failure to comply with the court’s rules.

Justice Abang ruled as he declined to hear the first case, “A matter filed during court vacation is not heard as a matter of cause.

“The applicant is expected to apply and obtain the leave of court to have his matter herd during the court vacation in line with the provisions of Order 46 Rule 5 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules 2009. I so hold.

“This applicant did not do so. I do not have jurisdiction to even grant an adjournment of this suit.

“It is expected that the applicant will do the needful to comply with the provisions of the rules of this court.”

Jubrin, through his lawyer filed the suit FHC/ABJ/CS/595/2016, against the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, his Deputy, Yusuf Lasun and other principal officers of the lower chamber seeking order to stop their alleged plan to suspend him from the House.

‎In the other suit FHC/ABJ/CS/595/2016, which is for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights, the plaintiff sued the Police, the Inspector-General of Police, the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command; Dogara, and other principal officers of the House as well as the Attorney-General of the Federation.

Other principal officers of the House sued in the fundamental human rights enforcement suit are Lasun, Alhassan Dogura and Leo Ogor.

He urged the court to stop the respondents from violating his rights in the course of investigation of the alleged budget padding.

Ok

“It is expected that the applicant will do the needful to comply with the provisions of the rules of this court.”

- The same English that made Princess Oduah escape sanction from Senate panel back in the day.

Anyway, Justice Okon sef

- What the Judge said is that you have to book " your case to be heard and tried expressly"
- Abeg where can one buy the "urgency form"? Jibirin, please contact WAEC or JAMB or NECO as soon as possible for this form.
- You have to enroll your case first and check when the court would resume from vacation.
- Please note that September is holiday and October 1 is public holiday.
- November would be busy oh (PDP factional issues APC matters such as Saraki, Ekweremadu, EFCC matters, dilectors etc)
- December is xmas
- January 2017 is court holidays
- February 2017 is the only time available, please book (between 1st-10th), 14th is Valentine oh

Poor Jibrin turned whistleblower, deceived by his hero's farcical anti-corruption war, will regret his foolishness and blind faith in Buhari's fictitious integrity. Now he's been left to swim against the tide all alone. Buhari's attack agencies are eerily indifferent, unmoved by Jibrin's cry for help. Trust Buhari at your own peril; he has never been in control. Those who witnessed '84 would enlighten you more.

You wonder why Dogara has brazenly defended his actions, very cocksure that the case against him is a headless snake. Now Abang has been invited to the party. A judicial Esau who needs only a spoon of porridge to deliver your bidding.

Justice Okon Abang Again.
