The counsel to the complainant, Barrister Isaac Ndayamma Ambule, prayed the court to revoke the land sold to a senator by Barrister Bala Dala. He argued that the land was sold to his client earlier which he made payment of N110 million on March 8, and March 10, 2021 but later discovered that the same land was resold to the senator.
However, counsel to the defendant, Hakeem Akilola, denied the complainant’s claim, and prayed the court to dismiss the case for lack of merit.
He added that his client followed the legal process in the contested transaction.
After listening to both parties, the presiding Judge, Mohammed Zannah, adjourned the case to October 4, 2021 for the continuation of hearing.
