Okorocha’s Certificate of return: Court ignores Izunaso’s petition, proceeds with hearing
Mr Izunaso, who was the APC governorship candidate in the state, had petitioned the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Adamu Abdu-Kafarati, saying he felt shut out of the matter and was being denied fair hearing.
“The proceedings of the court have been conducted in the open court and not in chamber and in line with the rules of court and the court records are duly kept and there is nothing to hide in the matter. The judge held that the law was clear on that issue and that except otherwise provided, a lawyer shall not deliver to a judge a petition without delivering same to the opposing lawyers.
