The notice motion, dated and filed April 7, was filed by Mark’s new attorney, Sulaiman Usman (SAN).

The notification motion was a reaction to the March 12 Court of Appeal ruling on a lawsuit filed by Nafiu Bala Gombe.

The motion, seeking three reliefs, was filed under Order 26, Rules 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2019; jurisdiction inherent in the courts and under the jurisdiction of an equitable court to grant injunctive relief.
