A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Nkemakolam Ukandu, has filed a motion to disqualify Hon. Justice Liman Suleiman from presiding over his case. Ukandu, the National Welfare Secretary of the party, alleges that the judge has shown bias against him.
The motion, dated and filed on notice, is a response to ongoing legal proceedings against Ukandu. Details of the case and the grounds for the alleged bias are not specified in the motion.
Ukandu's move is a significant development in the case, which has been ongoing for some time. The outcome of the motion will determine whether Justice Liman Suleiman will continue to preside over the case.
NaijaBuzz notes that this move by Nkemakolam Ukandu raises serious questions about the impartiality of the judiciary in Nigeria. The alleged bias by Justice Liman Suleiman, if proven, would undermine public trust in the institution. This development has significant implications for the rule of law and the administration of justice in Nigeria. As the case unfolds, NaijaBuzz will be watching closely the actions of the judiciary and the impact on the party's National Welfare Secretary.
