Before the judge adjourned the suit he ordered parties to file pleadings and call witnesses.

The judge, who gave the order while ruling on the objections raised by the respondents in the suit, held that the facts of the case were contentious in nature and as such oral pleadings were necessary.

The judge held, “I have examined the affidavit’s evidence in support of the originating summons and I am of the view that the facts are contentious.

“The plaintiffs’ complaint centred on non-conformity with the Federal Character Commission Act. This requires factual proof of the allegation. The documentary evidence attached to the affidavit in support of the originating summon were dumped on the court for it set out particulars relating to the plaintiff claims.
