A Kano High Court Monday presided over by Justice A. T Badamasi has again ordered the Kano State House of Assembly Investigative Committee and all parties involved in the investigation of alleged $5 million bribery saga involving Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to maintain the status quo ante.
The court said the order will remain, pending the determination of the originating summons filed by the National Coordinator of Lawyers for Sustainable Democracy in Nigeria, Mr Mohammed Zubair.
When the case came up for hearing, Mr. Kalid Abdullatif, who stood in for Mr. Nuraini Jimoh, lead counsel to the plaintiff, stated that going by Order 29, Rule 1 and Order 28, Rule 1 and 4 of the Rules of the Court, 2014, the application filed on behalf of the plaintiff on November 5, 2018, restraining the defendants, Kano State House of Assembly, Mr. Baffa Babba Dan Agundi and the state Attorney-General from further investigation of the bribery allegation, still subsists.
