A Federal High Court sitting in Kano State
has fixed November 28 for further mention in
the case between lecturers of Bayero
University, Kano and President of the
Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN),
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor.
The lecturers had on October 8, 2014,
dragged President Goodluck Jonathan, the
National Assembly, CAN President and four
others before the court over the use of a
private aircraft confirmed to belong to Pastor
Oritsejafor to smuggle $9.5m to South Africa
to allegedly purchase military hardware to be
used in the war against insurgency.
During the court sitting yesterday, the
plaintiffs, Dr. Sa’idu Ahmad Dukawa, Dr.
Salisu Shehu, Isa Ibrahim Garba, Kamilu
Hassan Kwatawa, Umar Jibrin Gwandu and
Professor Ishaq Akintola of Lagos State
University, through their counsel, Barrister
Audu Bukarti Bulama, filed a motion with six
others supported with 14 paragraphs seeking
the court to grant their motion to issue the
defendants a summons to appear before the
court.
One of the motions also urged the court to
grant their prayer to appoint DHL Express to
serve as bailiff for issuance of the
originating process to the defendants.
The presiding judge, Justice Fatu Riman
granted the applications and adjourned the
matter to November 28 for further mention.
