Election Tribunal: Are Witnesses And Evidences Necessary In Trial Cases. by sayitout1: 7:17pm On Aug 16, 2015
ARE WITNESSES AND EVIDENCES NEEDED IN TRIAL CASES.

The National Assembly and State House of Assembly Tribunal sitting in Asaba Delta State surprisingly reversed itself Thursday 13th August, 2015 by rejecting the results of inspection of materials it had ordered in favour of a Petitioner.

This ruling is seen by most observers as arm twisting of the law. In another development, the tribunal refused the evidence of all persons on supena called by the petitioner again. It is believed that this again is another way of shutting out all the evidence of the petitioner; against the law this amount to miscarriage of justice.

The question now is are we back to the days of JUNGLE JUDGMENT?

The authorities on Supena are legion, the Tribunal that gave these ruling has created doubts in the minds of keen observers as to the much desired change in all sectors of the nation that we talk about and hope for the best.

In our lay man view, how can trials be carried out if vital witnesses and evidences are not allowed in court/tribunal process ?

Yeah!

For the success of any trial, witnesses are brought to testify & evidences provided if any.

On the contrary, the tribunal has know choice than to reverse its judgment to accept the testimonies of witness & evidence. The judges have no option cos from the above write up, the court ordered the inspection of the electoral materials which means they needed a report which ought to be presented to the court and evidence.

When would all these fraudulent and confusing judgment stop.

If this is true, its a shame to our judicial system.

Naija we hail thee.

Front page matter.
