The Kano State Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has denied reports claiming that a State High Court struck out corruption charges filed against the former Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Murtala Sule Garo.
The Independent Mirror reports that the judiciary’s spokesperson, Baba Jibo Ibrahim, made this clarification on Tuesday, in Kano.
Earlier on Tuesday, reports circulated alleging that the Kano State High Court had dismissed the corruption case against Murtala Sule Garo.
The ruling, reportedly delivered by Justice Sanusi Ado Ma’aji of High Court No. 15, sitting on Miller Road in Kano, was said to have brought an abrupt end to the case marked Suit No. K/133C/2024.
The case was instituted by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission against Garo and other defendants, including Mohd Sule Garo, Mustapha Sule Garo, Isah Musa Kera, MJ Multipurpose Services Ltd., and A.U. Future Investment Ltd.
However, the Judicial Service Commission has refuted the claims, insisting that the reports are inaccurate, and misleading.
