A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday, restrained the Governor of Kano State, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, and the state’s attorney-general from re-arresting or detaining Rep Alhassan Ado Doguwa pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
Recall that Doguwa, through his lawyer, had filed a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/831/23 to seek an order enforcing its fundamental rights. In a motion ex-parte earlier moved by Osigwe on June 20, Doguwa sought the protection of the court against an alleged plan by the state government to rearrest and detain him in connection with the electoral violence that ensued during the presidential and national assembly elections, leading to the deaths of some people in the state.
Although the judge did not grant all the prayers sought, he ordered Doguwa to put the defendants on notice for them to show cause why his prayers should not be granted on the next adjourned date.
