The Federal High Court in Kaduna has declined jurisdiction in the suit brought by Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, who sought to set aside the Adhoc Committee report of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, among other declaratory reliefs.
Delivering two separate rulings before the judgment, Hon. Justice R.M. Aikawa held that the applicant failed to prove any circumstances that would warrant setting aside the court’s proceedings as requested by the applicant.
Furthermore, the judge dismissed the application for recusal, as the applicant failed to provide cogent reasons or facts for the court to do so, as established by a plethora of decided cases.
