Naija News reports that the Kano State High Court of Justice was among the places vandalized and set ablaze by the EndBadGovernance protesters
Speaking on Wednesday during an assessment visit to the State High Court, Yusuf shared his concern over the corruption charges case files taken away by the protesters.
The Governor, who was conducted around the court premises by the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Isah Dederi, Chief Registrar of the High Court, Abdullahi Ado Bayero, and other High Court Judges of the state, was furious at what had happened at the court.
This was contained in a press statement made available to newsmen in Kano by the Governor’s Spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa today.
The statement described the vandalization as a master-minded and staged-managed mission.
“It is very unfortunate that enemies of Kano State hired undesirable elements to vandalise one of the historic public buildings with a mission of averting corruption charges against the Ag. National Chairman of APC and former governor of the state Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, his family and aides.”
The statement added that the miscreants destroyed virtually all units of the High Court, including the office of the state Chief Judge with a loss of more than one billion naira through the stealing of office equipment, destroying offices, burning cars and other relevant materials crucial to the dispensation of justice.
Governor Kabir called on the youths in the state to desist from being used by detractors to engage in violence, rather, they should concentrate on skills acquisition for a better future, emphasizing that the government will not relent in securing the lives and property of the people of Kano State.
