The developments in the alleged corruption case involving Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and seven others are quite significant.
The court proceedings, particularly the debate surrounding the means of serving the defendants, shed light on the legal complexities of the case.
The prosecution’s argument for substituted service, citing Section 378 subsection 5 of the Kano State Administration of Criminal Justice Law (ACJL), underscores the legal framework within which such matters are addressed.
On the other hand, the defense’s objection to this approach, emphasizing the necessity of following due process and questioning the applicability of substituted service to corporate entities like Lamash Properties Limited, adds depth to the legal discourse.

The court’s decision to reserve the ruling on the means of service until May 16th reflects the careful consideration required in handling such cases.
It also highlights the importance of ensuring that legal procedures are followed meticulously to uphold the principles of justice and fairness.
The inability to arraign Ganduje and the other defendants due to challenges in serving them with criminal charges underscores the complexities involved in prosecuting cases of this nature.
Despite the delay, it’s evident that there’s a concerted effort to pursue accountability and uphold the rule of law.
As the case progresses, it will be essential to maintain transparency and adherence to legal norms to ensure a fair and just resolution.
