El-Rufai Suffers Setback as Court Rejects Jurisdiction in Fundamental Rights Case
The Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna has rejected jurisdiction in a suit filed by former Governor Nasir El-Rufai, seeking to overturn the Adhoc Committee report of the Kaduna State House of Assembly.
Justice R.M. Aikawa, presiding over the case, delivered a landmark ruling, stating that El-Rufai’s application failed to meet the necessary criteria for the court to set aside the report. The court also dismissed El-Rufai’s request for the judge to recuse himself, citing a lack of convincing reasons or facts.
The court declined jurisdiction rather than dismissing or striking out the suit, as requested by both counsels to the respondents. Instead, Justice Aikawa transferred the suit to the Kaduna State Chief Judge for determination by the High Court of Kaduna State.
Femi Falana, SAN, and Sani Katu, SAN, represented the 1st respondent, while Sule Shuaibu, SAN, Attorney General of Kaduna State, and Jummai Danazumi, Esq., represented the 2nd respondent.
