The Central Area Court 1, sitting at Kasuwan Nama, Jos, Plateau State, has restrained the Jos Metropolitan Development Board (JMDB) from evicting Yan Keke traders, the occupiers of the JMDB shopping complex in the state capital.
The court had on March 26, 2021, ordered that the parties maintain the status quo pending the outcome from the hearing of the plaintiff’s motion on notice.
Alhaji Hamza Shuaibu, Mr. Okechukwu Ani, and three other plaintiffs are challenging the JMDB and two others against evicting them out of the shopping complex, on lease.
An earlier subsisting judgment of the Plateau State High Court presided over by Justice H. Othman, had in 2008 ordered that JMDB renew the lease of the complex to the plaintiffs.
