Attorney General of the Federation Lateef Fagbemi has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to dismiss a N1bn suit filed by Nasir El-Rufai, Punch Nigeria reports. The request was made in proceedings before the Federal High Court in the Nigerian capital. The source material identifies Fagbemi as the applicant and El-Rufai as the claimant, but gives no details of the dispute underlying the case.
It also does not state the grounds on which the attorney general is seeking dismissal, identify any other parties or indicate whether the court has ruled on the application. The available report therefore establishes only that the federal government’s chief law officer is challenging the suit and has asked the Abuja court to bring the case to an end.
