Shortly before the sitting of the five-man panel of justices headed by the presiding justice of the PEPC, Justice Haruna Tsammani gave the assurance that justice will be served. Justice Tsammani said, “We are determined to look at the matter dispassionately and give justice to whoever deserves justice.” He noted that the tribunal would consider the substance of each case over technicalities so that “whoever leaves here will be satisfied that justice has been done.” He warned parties against unnecessary applications that could delay proceedings.
