Court Refuses Application By Sule Lamido To Be Tried By Justice Ademola

A judge of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Justice Babatunde Quadri, on Friday dismissed an application filed by a former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, seeking the return of his case to Justice Adeniyi Ademola.
Justice Quadri held that it would serve the interest of justice and public better not to return the case to Justice Ademola.
The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, had re-assigned the case to Justice Quadri when Justice Ademola and seven other judges were suspended for alleged corruption.

But after the suspended judges were recalled by the National Judicial Council (NJC), Lamido’s lead counsel, Joe Agi (SAN), requested the Chief Judge to return the case to Justice Ademola.However, the Chief Judge has insisted that Justice Quadri should continue to handle the case.
