The absence of Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja stalled the hearing of a suit filed by Enugu State Governor-elect, Mr Peter Mbah, against the National Youth Service Corps, (NYSC).
Justice Ekwo was said to be on official assignment.
Mbah had sued the NYSC and its Director, Corps Certification, Ibrahim Muhammad, for publicly denying the issuance of a discharge certificate issued to him on January 6, 2003.
Prior to his absence today, Justice Ekwo had, on May 15, restrained the NYSC, Muhammad and any of their agents from, henceforth, engaging in such publication pending the hearing and determination of the substantive matter.
