At the Supreme Court sitting on Friday in Abuja, the move by former Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, to return to office, was rejected.

According to Premium Times, the ex-governor had asked to be re-instated after the Court of Appeal declared his impeachment by the Adamawa House of Assembly as illegal.

The Supreme Court held that the Nyako had removed the plea for re-instatement from his claims at the Court of Appeal and thus could not ask for same at the Supreme Court.

Nyako was removed on July 15, 2014, after 17 of 25 members of the Adamawa State House of Assembly adopted a report of a panel set up to investigate him for alleged corruption.

The report found the governor guilty of all the 16 allegations of gross misconduct.
