Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State on Monday sought for an out-of-court settlement in a suit he filed challenging the state House of Assembly’s decision to reject his letter of resumption to duty.
Suntai had filed an action before a Jalingo High Court challenging the decision of the assembly, which rejected his letter of resumption of duty after returning from a medical treatment abroad.
The presiding judge, Justice Ali Andenyatso, adjourned the case to October 28, for further hearing or for the court to receive the outcome of the out-of-the-court settlement.
Counsel to Suntai, Elijah Nyaro, who stood in for Mr. Alex Iziyon (SAN), filed an oral application seeking a three-week adjournment to enable the parties to reach an out-of-court settlement.
