This development follows a notice of trial served on the respondents through substituted means by court order.

On June 5, 2024, a Kano State High Court granted permission for the state to serve the seven respondents via substituted service. This order was carried out through advertisements in two national newspapers on June 6, 2024.

The respondents in the case are Abdullahi Ganduje (1st respondent), his wife Hafsat (2nd respondent), Abubakar Bawuro (3rd respondent), Umar Abdullahi Umar (4th respondent), Jibrilla Muhammad (5th respondent), Safari Textiles Ltd (7th respondent), and Lesage General Enterprises (8th respondent).

Justice Amina Adamu, presiding over the case, granted the order following an application by Zahradeen Kofar-Mata, counsel for the state government, representing the lead prosecution counsel, Ya’u Adamu.

“This court grants the application for substituted service because it is necessary to ensure the respondents are duly notified of the proceedings. The matter is adjourned till July 11, 2024, for hearing, and all parties involved are ordered to present their fiat to the court,” stated Justice Adamu during the court session.

The hearing is expected to commence at 10 a.m. at the Kano State High Court on Thursday.
