Appeal Court admits errors in certified true copy of Kano election judgement, gives reason

Umar Bangari, the chief registrar of the Court of Appeal, has cleared the air on the controversies surrounding the judgement delivered by the court on the disputed Kano state governorship election.

Bangari stated that what happened in the certified true copy (CTC) was a typo error that did not in any way invalidate or change the findings and conclusion of the court concerning the Kano election, Channels Television reported on Wednesday, November 22.

Appeal Court says no call for alarm

The Appeal Court's chief registrar assured the people of Kano state and Nigerians generally that the error would be rectified once parties in the matter filed formal applications to that effect.

Bangari cited Order 23 Rule 4 of the Appeal Court's handbook which empowered it to correct any clerical error once detected.

Furthermore, the top Appeal Court official insisted that contrary to insinuations, the verdict of the court remained valid.
