One of the respondents, Dr. Saad Omoiya , who was a lecturer at the Department of History and International Studies , University of Ilorin, had died on May 13, 2016, meaning that only the two living respondents would be served by substituted means.
Barrister Toyin Saraki , who is the wife of former Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki , was the First Lady of Kwara state from 2003 to 2011.
Justice H. O. Ajayi of the Kwara state High Court, Ilorin on Monday granted the application for an order for substituted service.
The plaintiff’s counsel had sought that the defendants should get served through substituted means after informing the court of his inability to serve them.
The judge also added that the legal proceedings should be published in at least two local newspapers and one national daily.
He later adjourned the matter until December 11, 2023-Team@orientactualmags.com
