Court Restrains IGP From Inviting Or Arresting Ward Officers In Ganduje Suspension Case
A Kano State High Court, under the jurisdiction of Justice Yusuf Ubale Muhammad, has issued an ex parte order preventing the Inspector General of Police (IGP), the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Zone 1 Kano, and the Commissioner of Police, Kano, from inviting, arresting, or harassing the All Progressives Congress (APC) ward officers at Ganduje Ward in the Dawakin-Tofa local government area.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
This order follows the suspension of the National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, by the Ganduje Ward officers, a decision later overturned by the state working committee of the party.
In response to security operatives reportedly searching for the ward officers, the ward officers initiated legal action seeking judicial affirmation of Ganduje’s suspension.
Justice Yusuf Ubale Muhammad, in the ex parte order granted on May 2, 2024, stated that pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice, the APC National Working Committee (NWC), Kano State Working Committee, and Ganduje are restrained from using security operatives to arrest or detain the ward executives.
The factional ward officers, including Jafar Adamu, Haladu Gwanjo, Laminu Sani Barguma, and 10 others, filed the ex parte motion through their counsel, Shamsu Ubale Jibrin Esq, seeking protection of their fundamental human rights as guaranteed by the constitution.
Two affidavits were sworn by the applicants, challenging the IGP, AIG Zone 1 Kano, Commissioner of Police Kano, APC, APC NWC, Kano APC State Council, and Ganduje himself.
The court also ordered that an interim order for the motion on notice and all other processes in this suit be served on all respondents promptly and before the next adjourned date. The case is adjourned to June 5, 2024, for the hearing of the motion on notice.
