The Federal High Court in Minna has adjourned to the 13th of March, 2024 to deliver Judgement on the case of enforcement of the fundamental human right of an alleged terrorist, Mohammad Ahmadu whose house was demolished in Nikangbe area of Minna.
Justice Aminu Garba of the Minna Federal High Court adjourned the case for Judgement after the lawyers to the applicant and the seven respondents adopted all their submissions filed before the court.
Mohammad Ahmadu was alleged to have used the proceeds of his terrorism to build his house located in Nikangbe Community in Minna which was demolished some times in 2022.
Following the suspicion by neighbours, Mohammed Ahmadu was arrested along with six others where catchment of assorted weapons were said to have been discovered from his house leading to the destruction of the building on the order of the then state government.
Since his arrest by a team of heavily armed Security Operatives in 2022 his whereabout could not be known to his family which prompted his wife Mallama Innawuro approaching the court through her lawyer Barrister Mohammed Tsado Mohammed.
The lawyer then filed a suit before the Federal High court in Minna for the enforcement of the fundamental human right of the plaintiff.
Joined in the suit included the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of the Department of State Service (DSS), the state Commissioner of Police, the state Director of the department of state Service, Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and the Commissioner for local government and chieftaincy Affairs.
Justice Aminu Garba of the Federal High Court after listening to the arguments as contained in various applications and motions filed by the legal teams of the state led by the former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Niger State Nasara Dan Mallam and the lawyer to the plaintiff Mhammded Tsado Mohammed, that of the DSS, Abdulmalik Sani and the head of the legal unit of the police Thadeus Jude Akaeze, the case was adjourned to the 13th of March 2024 for Judgement.
However, Mohammadu Ahmadu was alleged to be a kidnapper and whose activities remained suspicious among the residents of Nikangbe Community, Minna, Niger State.
It is against this background that the then Commissioner for Internal security in Niger State Mr Emmanuel Umaru led a heavily armed Security Operatives to his house for comprehensive search where assorted arms and weapons were said to have been recovered.
On recovery of the arms he was picked and his was demolished.
