Case Details
-
The Charge: Turaki is facing a one-count charge for allegedly providing false information to the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
-
Prosecution Allegations: Prosecutors claim that in an October 5, 2022, petition, Turaki used his official letterhead to target Saidu Mohammed Mainasara with the intent of using police power to annoy or injure him.
-
Legal Basis: This act is alleged to violate Section 140 of the Penal Code Law, which prohibits giving false information to a public servant to cause harm.
Court Proceedings
-
Defense Argument: Turaki’s counsel argued that the charge (CR/647/2025) constituted an abuse of court process and failed to establish a prima facie case against his client. He further urged for an immediate ruling, claiming that a trial would cause the defendant unnecessary stress.
-
Prosecution Response: Representing the prosecution, Usman Rabiu requested that the application be dismissed so that the state could present its evidence. Rabiu argued that under Section 396(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA), the court is required to reserve rulings on preliminary objections until the final judgment.
-
Court Ruling: Justice Kekemeke upheld the prosecution’s argument, stating that Section 396(2) of the ACJA is mandatory. The judge determined that proceeding with the trial would not result in an injustice to the defendant.
