Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday refused to hear two separate suits filed by a former Chairman, Appropriation Committee,
House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, in relation to his travails which followed the crisis of alleged budget padding in the lower legislative chamber.
Justice Abang, who is currently sitting as a vacation judge, refused to hear the suit on Wednesday because the plaintiff failed to obtain the court’s leave
to have his cases heard during the ongoing vacation.
A plaintiff who files a suit during the court’s vacation is expected to file an ex parte motion to prove to the judge that his or her suit is a matter
of urgency which its hearing should not be delayed.
