A Federal High Court in Kano yesterday fixed February 20, 2017 for hearing in a suit filed before it challenging the suspension of Abdulmumini Jibrin.
29 constituents from Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency, which Jibrin represents, had sued Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and Clerk of the House over the suspension of their representative.
The presiding judge, Justice Sulaiman Kogo, while ruling on an application for adjournment filed by the counsel to the plaintiff, Barrister Bashir M. Muqaddam, adjourned the matter to February 20, 2017 for hearing.
Earlier, Barrister Muqaddam told the court that he was served with respondents’ response on Tuesday and that he needed more time to respond to some issues.
