The trial of the Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Yakubu Sanda, was stalled on Thursday before a State High Court in Jos following a demand to follow court rules.

The hearing was originally scheduled for October 23, 2022, but it was cancelled due to the death of one of the accused lawmakers.

When the matter came up for hearing on Thursday, Yakubu Sanda was not in court, nor was he represented by any counsel, but the counsel to the claimant, DA Dalong, said they were ready to proceed with the case. However, the trial of the accused was stalled again due to an objection raised by a counsel to the Plateau State government, PG Chigero that the application filed by the claimant contravened Rule 2 of the court, which required that it be filed with the proposed amendment.

After argument by both counsels, Justice Kunda upheld the submission of the defence counsel and adjourned the matter till March 10, 2023.All rights reserved.
