Students of the nation’s varsity recently held an election but the Kemo Fatty-led camp charged that the election was fraudulent. The aggrieved camp then filed a petition at the judicial tribunal which reacted by barring the Ousman Jassey-led camp from assuming office.

“After listening to the submissions by the respondent counsel, the court will aver its mind that the respondent counsel has the constitutional right to be given adequate time to respond to the motion,” PA Mendy said before adjourning the case.

The public hearing held at the School of Law attracted scores of students and members of the press.
