hearing this, and in his capacity as the acting Chief Justice, he wrote a letter to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) to investigate the issue. It is the case of the Plaintiff that upon investigations, a report dated the 18th of December, 2012, was produced which clearly commended the Plaintiff and indicted two others. The plaintiff claims that to his utter surprise, he who has been commended was charged and convicted for false information whereas the two persons indicted by the report were not charged with any offence. He further states that prior to his trial, he was presiding over a case of corruption as the Chief Justice, involving one Justice Emmanuel Nkea. He says upon his removal from office, his successor assigned his own trial to the said judge who was standing trial before him. Another perplexing concern of the Plaintiff is that the prosecution of his case was remitted to one Legunju Vitalis, a state Counsel who is a nephew to the trial Judge and at that time, was living in the same house with the trial judge. Plaintiff claims that during the trial, his Counsel filed a motion urging the trial Judge to recuse himself from proceeding with the matter based on the above grounds but the trial judge failed to do so. He further avers that, sometime in 2014, the matter was adjourned for adoption of brief but when the case was called, the trial Judge deliberately ignored all the documents and testimonies of witnesses, convicted and sentenced the Plaintiff to two (2) years imprisonment. The Plaintiff maintains that the whole trial was a charade and a well-acted drama to achieve a pre-conceived intent of putting him in jail at all cost and without hearing. The Plaintiff asserts that he was sent to Mile 2 prison without access to the outside world, including his lawyers. 4
