A Kano State High Court has fixed February, 2025, for the hearing of preliminary objections in the suit against Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and seven others.
The eight-count charge, filed by the Kano State Government in April, borders on bribery, misappropriation, and diversion of public funds against Ganduje, his wife Hafsat, his son Umar Abdullahi Umar, and five others.
During the court hearing on Wednesday, M.N. Duru, counsel to Ganduje, requested the court to strike out an earlier application seeking facilities and a witness statement dated October 21.
“My lord, we urge the court to strike out this application. We intend to proceed with a new application dated November 18 instead,” Duru said.
Adeola Adedipe, counsel to the Kano government, responded by asking the court not to strike out Ganduje’s application for withdrawal but to dismiss it.
“We have filed our counter-affidavit dated November 15, 2024,” Adedipe said.
After hearing the arguments, Justice Amina Adamu-Aliyu adjourned the matter until February 13, 2025, for the hearing of all preliminary objections.
