A court adjourns proceedings in Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s N1 billion case against the ICPC, the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and the police. Proceedings are postponed after the parties make applications related to filings and service.

El-Rufai’s suit focuses on events following an alleged invasion and search of his residence at House 12, Mambilla Street, Aso Drive, Abuja, on 19 February. He seeks declarations that the actions amount to a violation of his fundamental rights, along with related relief.

Vanguard reports that the court adjourns after an application for leave to move a motion seeking an extension of time to treat the defendants’ counter-affidavit as properly filed and served. Premium Times similarly describes the court postponement in the same matter, detailing El-Rufai’s claims about the February search and the rights-related declarations he is asking the court to make.
