Katsina High Court, NBA Trade Blame over Kidnappers' Release
The controversy surrounding the release of two ‘notorious kidnappers’ in Katsina State on Friday took a new dimension as the Chief Registrar of the state High Court, Mr. Kabir Shu’aibu, said all the relevant documents that resulted in the release of the suspects were falsified.
The suspected kidnappers — Isiyaku Abubakara and Lawal Abubakar — were arrested by security personnel for the abduction of a renowned Qur’an reciter and preacher, Mallam Ahmed Suleiman. He said: “The said Registrar along with others conspired, prepared a ruling purportedly given by Hon. Justice Baraka I. Wali and fraudulently presented false court order, bail bond and release order to the Honourable Chief Judge who, believing the documents to be genuine, signed and the said documents were presented to the officer in charge of the Correctional Centre where the suspects were eventually released.
He said the chief judge became aware of the forged documents when the legal officer of the Department of State Services complained that the released suspects had kidnapped and killed one person at Mararrabar Kankara in Malumfashi Local Government Area of the state. “The DSS, having conducted preliminary investigation, invited and interrogated all those involved including the District Head of Kankara, whose letter of introduction of sureties was forged, the officer in charge of Katsina Central Correctional Centre and detained the principal suspects and arraigned them before a Chief Magistrate’s Court for cognizance.”
