In his 10 minutes ruling, Justice Badamasi said “It is clear that this matter is at preliminary stage and issues have not been joined between the parties involved when the plaintiff filed an application seeking the court to strike it out, hence, this honorable court will not award any cost on the plaintiff.” ]]>
