A Nasarawa State High Court sitting in Akwanga, headquarters of Akwanga Local Government Area, has voided the removal of a former Secretary to the State Government, Mr Ahmed Tijani.
The state House of Assembly had directed Governor Abdullahi Sule to relieve the ex-SSG of his appointment over alleged misappropriation of N284.5 million fund for school projects when he was a Commissioner for Education in the state.
But in a ruling on Friday by Justice Mustapha Ramat, the court voided the ex-SSG’s sacking, describing the action of the state House of Assembly as illegal. Justice Ramat ruled that Tijani was not given a fair hearing by members of the state assembly, thereby violating his fundamental human rights when deciding on allegations against him.
