Thirteen years after the
Nigerian Government initiated a suit against former Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory, Jeremiah Useni, the Code of Conduct Tribunal has asked the
former minister to appear before it on the 27th of this month.
Chairman
of the Tribunal, Justice Ibrahim Umar, ruled that if General Useni could seek
medical aid within and outside Nigeria, he must appear before the court to
defend the five count allegation against him.
General
Useni’s Counsel, Victor Odjemu informed the tribunal that his client has been ill for a while.
Useni, was said to have failed to declare his assets
and liability before and after leaving office. He is also accused of acquiring
properties and issuing 23 rights of occupancy in the FCT, as well as participating
in the management of four companies under the Tim Tali Group and three oil
companies during his tenure.
