An Appeal court in Abuja, the Nation’s capital has ordered a fresh hearing in the legal battle over the disputed Kano Emirate involving Alhaji Nasir Ado Bayero.
Justice Mohammed Mustapha, who delivered the lead judgment on Friday held that Bayero was denied a fair hearing due to the shoddy manner in which a Kano High Court conducted proceedings against him.
The Court of Appeal, therefore, ordered that the case be remitted to the Chief Judge of the Kano State High Court to be reassigned to another judge for expeditious determination.
It stated that the Kano High Court was unfair to Bayero by conducting proceedings without serving him a hearing notice to enable him to present his case, adding that the conduct of the proceedings against Bayero amounted to a travesty of justice.
Justice Mustapha held that all courts of law are bound to ensure justice for all parties by giving them equal opportunities.
The Appellate Court, describing the arrangement as shoddy, also held that Bayero ought to have been served with a hearing notice to allow him to present his grievances before judgment was delivered against him.
Justice Mustapha did not award costs against the respondents in the appeal filed by Alhaji Ado Bayero.
