‘Abuse of office’: Court strikes out N1bn suit against Malami
A federal capital territory (FCT) high court in Kubwa has
struck out the N1 billion suit instituted against Abubakar Malami, former
attorney-general of the federation.
Malami was sued in his official and personal capacities
alongside Asabe Waziri, civil servant and founder of Asabe Waziri Justice
Advocacy Initiative.
At the court session on Thursday, Oluyemisi Adelaja,
presiding judge, struck out the case for lack of diligent prosecution.
“The claimant is the one who filed the action and is
required to be seen diligently prosecuting same but they are not in court and
there is no reason for their absence before the court,” the judge held.
