Justice Buba fixed the date, on Wednesday, after listening to the argument from the parties. According to counsel from the office of the AGF, Mr. Oyin Koleosho, in his preliminary objection, described Kashamu’s suit as premature, incompetent and an abuse of court processes and asked the court to dismiss it. He added that Kashamu failed to substantiate his claim that the AGF had or was about to take possession of his properties. The AGF also challenged the jurisdiction of the court to entertain Kashamu’s case. Koleosho argued that since Kashamu’s case bordered on landed property title, the Federal High Court had no jurisdiction to entertain it. But Kashamu’s lawyer, Mr. Ajibola Oluyede, said Kashamu was in court to protect his fundamental right to own proprties as enshrined under sections 43 and 44 of the 1999 Constitution. “That is the reason we have come to the court this time round to protect the right of the applicant to own property. “This action is not pursuing a right in property, the action is pursuing a right to own properties. The right in property and the right to own property are two different things. “It is on the basis of these facts and on the basis this law that we urge your lordship to discountenance this argument,” Oluyede said. On his own part, the counsel who appeared for the NDLEA, Mr. Oigoga Ichakpa, said the agency was also opposed to Kashamu’s suit and had filed a counter-affidavit. Ichakpa adopted the counter-affidavit and urged the judge to dismiss Kashamu’s case. Buba thereafter adjourned till November 18 for judgment.]]>
