1. Court nullifies El-Rufai’s revocation of Durbar Hotel’s C of O

The Abacha family through their counsel, Dr. Reuben Atabo, consequently dragged the governor and three others to the Kaduna High Court presided over by Justice Hannatu Balogun for the “illegal demolition” of the Hotel and revocation of its C of O.

Joined in the suit number KDH/KAD/51/2020 with the Kaduna governor were the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of Kaduna State, the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Agency, and the Kaduna State Geographic and Information Service, according to a The Nation report.

“The Coalition of Northern Groups CNG is extremely saddened and concerned by the reports that about 4000 Nigerians trapped in Sudan have not been evacuated. We find it disturbing that the Federal Government of Nigeria should afford to fail once again, in the statutory responsibility of protecting Nigerians at home in Nigeria and abroad.

We demand action from both houses of the National Assembly to compel the federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Security Adviser and Nigeria’s representative in the AU to ensure the urgent and safe evacuation of Nigerians who are mainly northerners trapped between Khartoum, Ethiopia and Egypt,” the statement read.
