The IMN leader who was brought to court on Tuesday morning amid tight security, had asked the court to quash the Kaduna State government's case against them for lack of evidence.
During the last sitting on August 7, the presiding Judge, Justice Gideon Kurada fixed today for ruling on the no-case submission, after counsel to the defendants, Abubakar Marshall, holding the briefs for the lead counsel, Femi Falana, had asked the court to quash the charges preferred against the IMN leader by the government for not "disclosing an offence known to law contrary to Section 36 (8) and (12) of the 1999 constitution as amended".
