Controversial Kano cleric Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasiru kabara has withdrawn a fundemental right suit he filed at Federal High Court Kano challenging his suspension from preaching by Kano state government.

The Islamic cleric was banned by the Kano state government from preaching. His schools and mosques were also closed.
