Court gives fresh order to police over APC ward excos who suspended Ganduje

A Kano high court has restrained the Inspector General of Police IGP; Assistant Inspector General, AIG Zone 1 Kano; Commissioner of Police, Kano from arresting ward executives who purportedly suspended the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Justice Yusuf Ubale Muhammad granted an exparte order warning the police not to invite, arrest, and harass the APC Ward officers at Ganduje Ward, Dawakin-Tofa local government area of Kano state on Thursday, May 2.

As reported by Daily Trust, the court restrained the APC from using police to arrest or detain the ward executives, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.

The exparte motion was jointly filed by Jafar Adamu, Haladu Gwanjo, Laminu Sani Barguma and 10 other APC led factional ward officers. The APC ward excos through their counsel Shamsu Ubale Jibrin Esq, are seeking the protection of their fundamental human right as guaranteed by the constitution, Vanguard reports.

“An interim order of injunction is hereby granted restraining the respondents in the two consolidated suits, their officers, agents, privies, or any other officer serving under them from inviting, arresting, harassing or detaining the applicants in respect of the subject matter of the suit, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice already filed.”

APC's Ganduje discloses those behind purported suspension

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Ganduje opened up on his purported suspension by his ward in Dawakin Tofa local government area of Kano state.

He said the Kano state government is behind his controversial suspension as APC national chairman.
