Plateau State High Court presided over by Justice M. L Musa on Monday reinstated Impeached Speaker of Plateau House Of Assembly Hon. Nuhu Abok as Speaker, Plateau State House of Assembly.

Abok was impeached in October 2021 by few members of his State Assembly who were said to have conducted illegal sitting of the House at odd hours of the day at the instance of the state executive arm of government.

In its judgment, however, the Court upheld the submissions of the complainants that the impeachment was illegal and therefore null and void.

The Court awarded the sum of N1.5million as cost of appearance and the sum of N138,000 as cost of filing the matter against the defenders.
