SUPERFINE FURNITURE VS YAKUBU C. JANG: COURT ORDERS PARTIES TO MAINTAIN STATUS QUO AS YAKUBU PLEADS “NOT GUILTY”

 By: Amb. Valentine Adese (JP),

The case between Superfine Furniture and Yakubu C. Jang, at the Plateau State Chief Magistrate Court, Giring Abattoir in Jos, has been adjourned to the 5^th of August 2024 for hearing, after the Defendant, Yakubu Jang, pleaded “Not Guilty” to the charge.  

You would recall that REALITY had reported that the matter had been adjourned from 10^th May 2024 to 10^th June 2024 because there was no proof of service of the Court’s Summons on the Defendant but later fixed for 9^th July 2024 for Mention.

The Court while adjourning the matter to the 5^th of August 2024 had ordered all parties to maintain Status Quo, pending the determination of the case.

In an on-the-spot interview with Dr. A. Christopher (SAN), one of the Defense Counsels in the matter, he told REALITY that the business of the Court yesterday was the mentioning of the matter and for the Defendant Yakubu Jang to take his Plea.

In part, Dr. Christopher said, “The business of the day was for the mentioning of the matter and to move for the bail of the Defendant Yakubu Jang.

“However, speaking circumspectively, without going into the merit of the matter, we applied for the bail of the Defendant and her worship admitted him to bail on liberal terms. As I speak, they are perfecting the bail application.

“The matter has been adjourned to the 5^th of August 2024, for hearing of the matter.

“There is no pronouncement for now on the nature of the matter, but her worship has ordered that parties should maintain status quo and nobody should go to the contested land to carry out any activity pending the determination of the matter”.

You would recall that REALITY had reported that the matter is about a Land Business.
