The Kaduna State government has allegedly refused to stop working on land belonging to the Federal Government College, Malali, in Kaduna, after the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Education, secured an interim injunction against the State government’s move to grab illegally an expanse of land belonging to the unity school.
The school has pleaded to join the case; however, it was discovered that up until the morning of last Friday, the State government had continued to carry out construction despite the court’s injunction.
After the ex-parte motion, the office of the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Education wrote to the Inspector-General of Police about the motion granted by the high court. It was the second letter to the Inspector General of Police calling out the illegality going on at the school premises.
The Office of the Inspector-General of Police did not waste time moving into action to effect the court’s ex-parte motion. The Commissioner of Police in the Kaduna State Command was immediately instructed to investigate and act on the ex-parte motion.
When contacted, Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Musa Garba, said the Police were already enforcing the court order.
The case resumes today, at the Kaduna High Court.
