Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has filed an application before Kano High Court to discontinue the libel charges against an online newspaper, Daily Nigeria, and its publisher, Jaafar Jaafar. Meanwhile, in an application on notice before Kano High Court and dated June 28, 2021, the applicant sought a court order to withdraw the suit. MEANWHILE, the Chairman, Kano Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, Muhuyi Rimin-Gado, yesterday, rejected the deployment of a financial director for the commission. Besides, Rimin-Gado lamented undue interference in the activities of the commission within the government that anointed him for the job. But a written memo signed by the chairman of the commission, who insisted the action violated the extant laws that established the commission, countered the deployment.
