Alex Enumah in Abuja
A High Court of Justice of Kaduna State has dismissed a suit seeking to stop a company, Datum Construction Nigeria Ltd from carrying out its activities at a quarry site in Kujama, Kaduna State, over allegations of farmland degradation.
Justice Edward Andow in a judgement held that the suit filed by an alleged farmland owner, Shekwogaza Joseph Audu, was unmeritorious.
The judge also held that while Audu may have genuine concerns regarding the damage to his land, he had completely failed to present the quality of evidence required by law to sustain his claims.
