The motion brought pursuant to order 2 rule 1,2 and 3(enforcement of fundamental Human right subject to section 36 of the 1999 constitution.
The Attorney General of the union on behalf of the suspended SUG president, filed a motion questioning the credibility and legality of the action of the house of representative toward his Excellency; The court which seated in the faculty of law identified some errors in the suit filed by the applicant but yet went on to give judgement in their favor. The judge who presided over the case categorically stated that its judgement was wrongly given in the sense that it was based on the pleadings of the Vice chancellor. Read below to get the rulings of the court.
The motion was not properly served by the Attorney General to the court. The president was suspended as a result of negligence of summon which simply means that he did not appear before the house when he was summoned. Thus because of the act stating if a person refuses to show up when being summoned the person will be suspended , he was suspended from the union which simply means that he was suspended as the President.
After the meeting with the Vice chancellor which was held on 20th of June 2014, he directed that the Attorney General(Hon Chisolu) should bring a motion for the house to grant the president fair hearing.
The Vice chancellor when he was visited by ME, THE PRO;CHIEF JUDGE;THE SPEAKER OF THE SRC and the ATTORNEY GENERAL on 23rd of June,also reiterated that the court should leave all the procedures for the sake of peace in the university and start the investigation afresh.
The court obeying the instruction from the university authority hereby grant the following prayer:
1 That based on the principle of natural law as provided in section 36 of the 1999 constitution the President shall be granted fair hearing
2 That the suspension of the the SUG president is hereby lifted based on natural justice.
3 That the house should resummon Ibe chukwunonso to appear before them again within the next seven days.
4 That Ibe Chukwunonso remain the SUG president of this great union.
From the preceding assertions of the court it is crystal clear that His excellency Comr. Ibe Chukwunonso still remains our President as we await the next disciplinary action the house will take in this matter.

The doctrine of equity came to mitigate the harshness of the common law...To be frank, I don't think 6.2 million is missing cos the University authority (to my knowledge) haven't released funds for the SUG and the only way the SUG generates fund is through the TTF levy on transport which obviously can't amount to 6 million naira. Proper investigation must be conducted. Section 36 (5) of the 1999 constitution (as amended) should be properly read. Good job PRO
