Governor Yusuf expressed worry that the corruption charges case files of former Governor Ganduje have been taken away from the court.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has opened up that violent protesters carted away alleged corruption documents filed against the APC National Chairman, Ganduje at the State High Court.

Recall that the Kano State High Court of Justice was among hundreds of other places vandalized and set ablaze by the End Bad Government Protesters when they came out in their hundreds against hunger and starvation in the country.

Governor Yusuf who paid an assessment visit to the State High Court, on Wednesday, expressed worry that the corruption charges case files of former Governor Ganduje have been taken away from the court.

The Governor, who was conducted around the court premises by the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Isah Dederi, Chief Registrar of the High Court, Abdullahi Ado Bayero, and other High Court Judges of the state, was furious at what had happened at the court.

This was contained in a press statement made available to newsmen in Kano by the Governor’s Spokesperson, Mr Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa today.

The statement described the vandalization as a master-minded and staged-managed mission in which the hired miscreants carted away corruption charges documents on former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who has been facing multiple charges before the state High Court.

“It is very unfortunate that enemies of Kano State hired undesirable elements to vandalise one of the historic public buildings with a mission of averting corruption charges against the Ag. National Chairman of APC and former governor of the state Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, his family and aides.”

The statement added that the miscreants destroyed virtually all units of the High Court including the office of the state Chief Judge with a loss of more than one billion naira through the stealing of office equipment, destroying offices, burning cars and other relevant materials crucial to the dispensation of justice.

Governor Kabir called on the youths in the state to desist from being used by detractors to engage in violence, rather they should concentrate on skills acquisition for a better future, emphasizing that the government will not relent in securing the lives and property of the people of Kano State.

The Governor assured that the judiciary as the last hope of the common man must be protected at all costs, he directed the immediate rehabilitation of the building and deployment of adequate security for effective justice delivery.

He commiserated with the Chief Judge, Dije Abdu Aboki and the entire Judiciary family for the ugly incident urging them to brace up to cover what was lost in the court proceedings for the benefit of the common man.
