A Federal High Court sitting in Kano has stopped the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission from investigating the alleged missing N100 billion Local Government Council funds.
The court presided over by Justice Amobeda, also stopped the Kano anti-graft commission and its agents from inviting, investigating, arresting, and intimidating Local Government chairmen in the state, pending the determination of the Applicants’ Motion on Notice.
The Applicants before the court are 15 Local Government Chairmen in the state, while the Respondents are Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, and Barrister Muhuyi Magaji.
The Court also granted an accelerated hearing of the Applicants’ Motion on Notice, and directed the Respondents to maintain the status quo, in respect of the subject matter of the suit, pending the hearing and determination of the Applicants’ Motion on Notice.
