Our Correspondent gathered that the Youth Initiative had filed the suit against Professor Abduls-Semiu Adewale Musa, for allegedly bestowing favour on his biological son by granting him leave with pay at the time the son was not entitled to; allegedly using two different declarations of age in public service probably in an attempt to circumvent the law on retirement age, and allegedly in possession of educational certificates with irreconcilable names on his certificates.


The petition, with the suit number FHC/AB/FMC/100/21, which was filed on August 31, and which was filed on 2021, named the Federal Ministry of Health as the first respondent while the Medical Director of FMC as the second respondent.


It was gathered that the parties in the suit had been informed about the date.


Already, the second respondent, it was gathered had already engaged the services of Four counsels including a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Otunba Kunle Kalejaye to represent him during the proceedings.


The suit filed by All Youths Re-oriented Initiative of Nigeria is the climax of series of legal battles against the CMD in recent times even few months into his second term as the Chief Medical Director of the Hospital.
