Gombe Court Upholds Order Against Construction Firm In Land Encroachment Suit

By Najib Sani, Gombe

Gombe State High Court, presided over by Justice Fatima Musa, has rejected an application by a construction firm, Grandscope Construction Limited, which sought the vacation of an interim order restraining it from carrying erecting structure on a land allegedly belonging to Emir General Integrated Limited.

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
