The Supreme Court of Nigeria has
reinstated the former Deputy Governor of Taraba State, Alhaji Sanni Danladi,
who was impeached by the state House of Assembly in October 2012 under
questionable circumstances.
Delivering its judgement today, the
Supreme Court led by Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, ruled that the impeachment panel
set up by the House of Assembly to investigate all the allegations levelled
against Danladi did not give him fair hearing as he was not given any
opportunity to speak for himself during any of the panels proceedings.
The Supreme Court held
that there seemed to be conspiracy between both the Taraba State High Court and
the impeachment panel. The court ruled that the impeached Alhaji Sanni Danladi, be immediately reinstated
as Governor
