The state correspondent of Voice of America VOA Abdulwahab Muhammed and three others filed the case challenging decision of the recent congress attended by over sixty registered members of the Union.

The complainers were also seeking for interpretation of some sections in NUJ Constitution in relation to the case.

However, counsel to the dependants Barr. Rilwanu A. Jibrin argued that the state court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the case noting that National Industrial Court is the appropriate court to entertain the issue.

Delivering the judgement on the argument Justice Muktar Abubakar affirmed the submissions of the dependants and dismissed the case for lack of merit.
