A Federal High Court in Jalingo has pushed the lawsuit initiated by Alhaji Abdulhadi Lau against Taraba State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Bawa, to October 7, 2026. This date is set for a final hearing.
During the session on Wednesday, the plaintiff’s legal team sought more time to prepare responses to the defense’s recent filings. The attorney explained that extra time is vital to properly counter arguments presented by the three respondents.
While lawyers for the respondents did not reject the request, they expressed frustration regarding the plaintiff’s ongoing delays. They suggested that these holdups inflate legal expenses and hinder efficient litigation, asking the court to enforce stricter deadlines.
Ultimately, the presiding judge approved the request, emphasizing the importance of a fair process for everyone involved. The court ordered that all remaining documents be filed and swapped between parties before the next appearance to prevent further interruptions.
