The Federal High court, Abuja Friday fixed July 22 for definite hearing on N8.1 billion suit filed by Maj. General AbdulRauf Tijjani (rtd) against Lagos State Government.
Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date following the confirmation that parties involved in the suit have filed and exchanged necessary court processes to join issues with each other.
Jibrin Okutepa , counsel to Lagos State government, the State Governor and the former Attorney General of the State, Kasheem Adeniji , also confirmed to have filed and served all papers in respect of the case on the plaintiff.
