Gombe State High Court, presided over by Justice Fatima Musa, has rejected an application by Grandscope Construction Limited to vacate an interim order restraining it from carrying out activities on a disputed piece of land near the newly commissioned Dankwambo Ultra-Modern Park in Gombe Metropolis.
In her ruling, Justice Musa, upheld the order and also granted an application by the Gombe State Government to be joined as a defendant in the suit.
The case was brought before the court by Emir General Integrated Limited, which is seeking a perpetual injunction against Grandscope Construction Limited, alleging trespass on its land. The plaintiff further accused the construction company of violating the court’s interim order by continuing activities on the disputed property.
Following arguments from both parties, Justice Musa ruled that the interim order remains in force and adjourned the case to May 7, 2025, for the hearing of other pending applications.
The legal battle over the land has drawn significant attention, given its prime location near the newly established transport hub.
