Efforts by Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State and three others to stop the hearing in a suit filed against them by the family of the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, have met a brick wall as a Kaduna High Court has dismissed their objection.
The Attorney-General of Kaduna State, the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority and the Kaduna State Geographic Information Service were joined as defendants in the suit with reference number: KDH/KAD/51/2020.Delivering his ruling, Justice Hanatu Balogun dismissed the notice of objection filed by the defendants on the grounds that it was without merit.
The defendants had, in their objection, queried the competence of the suit and the jurisdiction of the Court to hear it, arguing that the suit was not properly instituted and that it raised cause of action against El-Rufai and the attorney-general.
