Justice Samira Bature struck out the suit following an application for discontinuance filed by Konduga’s counsel, Mr. Mohammed Tola, dated Oct. 17 and filed on Oct. 8.
The FCT High Court, Maitama, on Thursday struck out an N500 million aggravated suit filed by former Spokesman of Boko Haram, Ali Konduga.
Bature noted that the Respondents had earlier pointed out that the court had no jurisdiction to handle the matter and with the motion for discontinuance by the applicant, the suit was struck out.
Konduga dragged the Director-General, Department of Security Services (DSS) and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, over alleged breach of his fundamental rights.
On Oct. 3, Mr. Emmanuel Edu, holding the brief of Mr. Mohammed Tola, counsel for Konduga told the court that the client intended to discontinue the suit.
Mrs. Clementine Nebo, counsel for the Attorney General of the Federation not object to the notice of withdrawal but said, the proper motion should be presented to the court.
Given this, Konduga ‘s counsel then prayed for a short adjournment to enable them file motion for withdrawal. Konduga through his counsel, Mr. Mohammed Tola, filed a suit, alleging that he was kept in detention for an extra three years after serving his three-year jail term before he was released in 2016.
