Furthermore, Justice Adamu-Aliyu directed all parties involved to present their individual fiat to the court.
A Kano State High Court on Wednesday granted an order to serve the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress , Abdullahi Ganduje, and other defendants in a high-profile bribery and corruption case through substituted means.A 10-count charge was brought against Ganduje, his wife Hafsat Umar, and several associates, by the state government alleging bribery, misappropriation, and diversion of public funds amounting to billions of naira.
During the proceedings, the counsel for the sixth respondent, Nureini Jimoh, challenged the appearance of the lead prosecution counsel, Yau Adamu, arguing that a specific person had been granted the fiat to appear in the case.Adamu responded by informing the court that due to this challenge, Barrister Zahradeen Kofar-Mata would move the application ex parte.“My lord, Kofar-Mata has a fiat to appear in any matter concerning financial crime,” Adamu stated.
Kofar-Mata proceeded to move the ex parte motion dated May 29, which was supported by seven paragraphs seeking to serve the respondents through substituted means by publishing the summons in two national daily newspapers.Justice Amina Adamu-Aliyu overruled Jimoh’s objection and granted the order, following the application made by Kofar-Mata, who represented the lead prosecution counsel, Ya’u Adamu.
