In pursuit of that order, a total number of over 50 vehicles were recovered by the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the vehicles were recovered, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/09\/18\/zamfara-tribunal-dismisses-matawalles-petition-against-gov-lawals-victory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bello Matawalle<\/a> quickly went to the Federal High Court in Gusau. The court granted an order for the cars to be returned to him. Additionally, he filed a separate suit at the same court, seeking to enforce his fundamental right to own property, including the vehicles in question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Zamfara State Government requested the transfer of the case to another jurisdiction of the Federal High Court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Federal High Court of Nigeria, Sokoto Judicial Division, dismissed the matter on Friday. The court refused the reliefs sought by Bello Matawalle and rejected his claim to the ownership of the official vehicles. As a result, the vehicles are still considered the property of the Zamfara State Government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur government is committed to recovering all that rightfully belongs to the people through an all-encompassing rescue mission that leaves no stone unturned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe judgment by the Federal High Court will encourage us to ensure that justice prevails and all perpetrators of
