Jos High Court nullifies the impeachment of Hon. Isaac Kwallu as Chairman of Qua'an Pan Local Government Council.

The Plateau State High Court sitting in Jos has reinstated the purportedly impeached Executive
Chairman of Qua’an Pan Local Government Area, Hon. Isaac Kwallu.

The presiding Judge, Justice Nafisat Musa after a six hours judgement ruled that Hon. Kwallu is hereby reinstated and ordered the fourth defendant, Hon. Abdulmalik Yusuf Haruna to vacate the office with immediate effect.

She said the judgment is in the interest of justice, fairness and in the promotion of democracy in Nigeria, saying that It is highly unfortunate that the conduct of the proceedings of the panel were within a week.

“There is no how that the panel should have afforded the plaintiff the right to respond to these allegations against him. Consequently, I ruled in favour of the plaintiff against that of the defendant.

“On the whole, having resolved all the four issues in favour of the plaintiff, I hereby granted this judgment in the overall interest of justice, and the promotion of democracy in the country, this is the ruling of the court in this case,” she stated.

Following a consequent application by Counsel to the plaintiff for the release of the official vehicles to the Chairman, Justice Musa directed the immediate release of three official vehicles, ‘one Toyota Hilux, one Ford Hilux and one Prado Jeep” which were in the custody of the court to Hon. Isaac Kwallu.

She said having keenly looked into the matter; the impeachment can be described as a stage-managed drama. "That is why I painstakingly looked into this issue carefully. I don’t want to overlook anything so that nobody will say he was cheated.”

The reinstated local government council Chairman, Hon. Isaac Kwallu while responding to questions from Journalists on the outcome of the case said, “To the glory of God the Father Son, and Holy Spirit; my joy knows no bound. I want to thank the good people of Qua’an Pan who gave me their mandate freely and that was why we had to defend the mandate which was freely given to us.”

He thanked his supporters who have kept faith with him in the struggle as well as citizens of Plateau State, and called on the good people of Qua’an Pan LGA to put everything that happened behind them. “We are all politicians, we will meet again, and whatever it is, I have forgiven everybody.”
