Expelled law school student, Kayode Bello has initiated a
suit against the Council of Legal Education controllers of the Nigerian Law
School.
The suit which was filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja
Judicial Division with the SUIT NO: FHC/ABJ/CS/717/2017, also has the Inspector
General of Police as the second Respondent.
According to a 9 paragraph affidavit deposed to by Kayode’s
lawyer, Ayodele Ademiluyi, made available to yours truly, Kayode Bello sued
Council of Legal Education for forcefully ejecting him from his room 017, Block
F, of the Nigerian Law School, Bwari, Abuja in March, 2017 and was subsequently
expelled from the school for a simple misunderstanding over sitting reservation
with a colleague.
On the motion it was also stated that he was issued a query
by the council for complaining, though he answered the said query, but was
abruptly forced out of his room and expelled as a student without any hearing
whatsoever from him.
The plaintiff is seeking an order of the Court to grant him
leave to hear and/or entertain the present suit during the vacation of Federal
High Court.
He is also asking the court to intervene promptly, since the
Bar final exam starts on the 15th of August, 2017, so that he won’t miss the
exam, thereby jeopardizing his career and future as a legal practitioner.
He also pleaded that none of the parties will be prejudiced
by the grant of this application. The matter is yet to be assigned to a Judge.
