Court set date for case seeking removal of NYSC DG appointed by Buratai
in a suit seeking the removal of the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps , Brigadier-General Shuaibu Ibrahim.
The lawyer also asked the court to determine “whether having appointed the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, in total violation of the provisions of Section 5 of the National Youth Service Corps Act, Cap. N84 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, the Chief of Army Staff and the Nigerian Army, have not acted ultra vires their powers under the Armed Forces Act.
He, therefore, asked the court to declare that the appointment of Brigadier-General Shuaibu Ibrahim by the Chief of Army Staff is illegal, null and void and that same should be set aside by the court. He argued that though the Defendants made references to letters in which they claimed the President appointed the NYSC DG, none of the purported letters was brought or exhibited in court. He therefore urged the court to apply the provisions of Section 167 of the Evidence Act, 2011 and to hold that the Defendants withheld the documents because it is against them.
