Titans before the law
A Kaduna High Court has dismissed the objection of Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State and three others to stop the hearing of a N15 billion suit filed against them by the family of the late General Sani Abacha.
Mohammed Sani Abacha accused El-Rufai and others of trespassing on their property – a huge expanse of land housing the Durba Hotel in Kaduna; unlawful demolition of the Hotel and planning to sell it, having purportedly revoked the Certificate of Occupancy.
The Attorney General of Kaduna State; Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Authority and Kaduna State Geographic Information Service, were joined as defendants in the suit with Ref. No: KDH/KAD/51/2020.
A copy of the Court processes were obtained by Journalists in Abuja on Sunday.
Justice Hanatu Balogun of the High Court of Kaduna State, dismissed the notice of objection filed by the defendants on the grounds that it was without merit.
