'Murder': Court restrains Kano government from re-arresting aadoguwa | TheCable
A federal high court in Abuja has restrained Abba Yusuf, Kano state governor, and the state’s attorney-general from re-arresting or detaining Alhassan Doguwa, lawmaker representing Doguwa/Tundun Wada federal constituency.
The police had said they received a report that he led thugs to set ablaze the secretariat of the NNPP in Kano. Two persons were said to have died in the incident.Although the legislator denied any wrongdoing, he was arraigned in March at a magistrate court in Kano and was later remanded in prison.However, the charges were withdrawn after the prosecution said it could not “find sufficient evidence to link Doguwa with the said offences”.
The judge had ordered parties in the suit to maintain status quo pending the hearing and determination of the substantive matter.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.
