By Onozure Dania

lagos—A 92-year-old  widow, Mrs Roseline Ololo, on Wednesday discontinued a suit before a Federal High Court in Lagos seeking return two schools – Metropolitan College and Isolo Secondary School, Lagos, to her.

The applicant had filed the suit through her lawyer, Chief Malcom Omirhobo, praying the court for an order directing the government to return the schools to her.

When the case was called on Wednesday, counsel to the applicant informed the court of a motion on notice to discontinue the suit. Omirhobo prayed the court to withdraw the action in its entirety against all persons sued as respondents in accordance with the rules of court.

In a short ruling, Justice Rabiu Shagari struck out the suit with no order as to cost. Ololo had sued for herself and her company, Akaix West Africa Ltd.

The respondents in the suit were the Attorney General of the Federation, the Minister of Education, Lagos State Government, Lagos State Attorney General, and The Lagos State Commissioner for Education.
