An Upper Area Court in Abuja has placed a perpetual injunction restraining Hadiza Musa Baffa from claiming former minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Kabiru Turaki is her baby’s father.
Turaki and Ms Baffa are in friction arising from claim by the latter that he fathered her child.
The matter, which is sub judice saw the ex-minister filing an application seeking the court’s intervention in alleged use of the police by family members of Musa Baffa, his wife, Uwani Arabi and daughter, Hadiza Baffa to harrass him.
Judge Adamu Isah, in a judgement allegedly delivered on September 4, according to Daily Trust, ordered Ms Baffa not to use the result of a DNA test against the ex-minister.
It added that the ruling was about the determination of paternity test of a child born outside of wedlock under Islamic law.
“A perpetual injunction restraining the defendants, whether by herself, her agents, privies, servant or by any other person acting through her or for her from publishing in the social or traditional media, any content, statement, image or material suggesting or ascribing the defendant child born outside wedlock to the plaintiff (Turaki),” Daily Trust quoted the judge as saying.
