on December 23 after convicting the governorship candidate on charges bordering on “cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property”.Although Eno’s campaign organisation denied knowledge of the suit, it later filed an application seeking to vacate the order on the grounds of not being served the hearing notice.The chief magistrate also set aside the entire proceedings and judgment.
The letter stated that the petitioners have “called for disciplinary action to be taken” against the magistrate.At the resumed hearing on Friday, Saatsaha Yenge, a lawyer, announced legal representation for the complainant.Yenge said: “We received the notice by pasting that this matter will be coming up for hearing of the defendant applicant’s motion filed on January 9.”“The applicant is not in court.
