Court Sets Hearing Date for Osun LG Funds Jurisdiction Issue
The Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled a hearing for September 29 on the jurisdiction issue concerning the withheld local government funds in Osun State. The court's decision to adjourn follows Osun State Government's insistence that the case should be transferred back to the Osogbo Division due to jurisdictional limitations beyond September 16.
The plaintiff's legal team, led by Musibau Adetumbi SAN, challenged the validity of a letter from the Chief Judge's office mandating Justice Emeka Nwite to handle the case in Abuja, citing concerns about the signatory's authority. The jurisdictional dispute underscores the complexity surrounding the legal battle over the withheld funds, adding a layer of procedural challenges to the case.
