Sacked Adamawa State Acting Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has petitioned the National Judicial Council (NJC), accusing the Federal High Court, Abuja of plotting to frustrate his appeal.

He is particularly accusing Justice Adeniyi Ademola of alleged misconduct.

Fintiri was sacked on October 8 via a judgment delivered by Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja in a suit by Governor Bala Ngilari.

The judge held that the lawmaker was wrongly sworn in as Acting Governor as the then Deputy Governor, Ngilari, did not resign from office in accordance with constitutional provision.

Although Fintiri has appealed the judgement, he is accusing the court of delaying the release of a certified true copy of the judgment to enable him perfect his appeal.

His allegation was contained in a petition dated October 10 and a follow-up dated October 14, signed by Duro Adeyele (SAN).

Adeyele works with the former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Bayo Ojo (SAN), who is Fintiri’s lead lawyer.
