From Umar Dankano, Yola
A High Court sitting in Yola has fixed 3rd and 4th November 2025 for the defense counsels to open their defense appearance in the lingering legal suit over the creation of the Fufore Emirate council by the Adamawa state government.
Justice Musa Usman of High court No.4 Yola announced the dates on Wednesday after the prosecution counsels have closed their presentation of witnesses and evidences before the court, urging the legal teams in the suit to guide their witnesses properly in the subsequent court proceedings with a view to save time and energy.
Recall that, the state government created Fufore emirate out of the Adamawa Emirate this year which informed three concerned citizens including; Alhaji Musa Halilu Ahmed (Dujiman Adamawa),Alh.Mustapha Dahiru Mustapha (Yeriman Adamawa),and Alhaji Mustapha Ahmed (Sarki Noma Adamawa) to challenge the process in court believing the development to be distortion to the heritage of the Fombina dynasty.
