The family a late former military Head of State, General Sani Abacha,
had dragged the state government before the court over alleged illegal
demolition of the property and alleged plans by the State government to
take over the property despite pending appeal on the matter at the
Supreme Court, which the state government filed challenging the
verdicts of lower courts.
At the resumed hearing of the suit on Thursday, counsel for the
defendants told the court that the defendants had filed a case of change
of counsel and requested a new date.
Against this background, the Presiding Judge, Justice Hannatu Balogun,
adjourned further hearing on the case to April 4th, 2022.
The Abacha family is demanding a declaration that it is the titleholder of
the property measuring about 5.378 hectares and covered by Kaduna
State Certificate of Occupancy and also that the demolition of the
property by the Kaduna State Government is unconstitutional, illegal,
null, and void.
It also asked the court for an order of injunction restraining the
defendants, their agents, servants, privies, and whosoever from
transferring, assigning or selling in any way part of the property.
