The Kano Judicial Service Commission, JSC, has sanctioned six court officials over alleged fraud, extortion and forgery. The JSC took the decision during its 74th meeting held on 22nd July, 2024. Baba Jibo Ibrahim, spokesman Kano State Judicial Service Commission, made this known in a statement on Friday.
He said the Judiciary Public Complaint Committee, JPCC, investigated a petition brought against two court registrars who conspired and extorted the sum of N130,000 from a petitioner under the pretense of releasing a suspect on bail, which turned out to be false. The Committee found that their action amounts to extortion and conspiracy, involving unlawful receipt of funds.
Ibrahim maintained that the Judicial Service Commission, acting on the recommendation of the JPCC, directed Mustapha Makama to proceed on compulsory retirement, having been found not to be fit and proper to continue in the service of the judiciary, while Yusuf Muhammad Yakasai, who is an accessory to the misconduct, has been demoted one grade level downward.
