A Kano State High Court has dismissed a suit against Ambassador Alkasim Ishaq-Tatari, also known as Balarabe Tatari, challenging his leadership as the chairman of the Kantin Kwari Market Traders Association.
The lawsuit was filed by seven individuals who claimed that Tatari’s leadership as chairman was invalid due to certain allegations.
Justice Fatima Adamu ruled that the allegations were baseless and lacked merit, thereby dismissing the suit.
Reacting to the judgment, Tatari described the court’s decision as a major victory for his leadership.
He stated that his lawyer, Barrister Suraj Said, had successfully defended him against the six allegations made by the plaintiffs.
According to Tatari, the court’s decision is a testament to his commitment to transparency and accountability in the market.
He alleged that the plaintiffs were motivated by personal interests and a desire to destabilize the market.
Tatari also claimed that he had made significant progress in improving the market since his election, including the construction of roads and drainage systems.
He urged the traders to unite and work together to develop the market further.
It’s worth noting that this is not the first time Tatari has faced opposition from some traders in the market.
A few months ago, the plaintiffs had announced that they had suspended him as chairman of the market, but it seems that the court’s decision has put an end to that controversy.
