KANO COMMISSIONER SACKED AFTER ISSUING DEATH THREAT TO TRIBUNAL JUDGES
Read Time:1 Minute, 13 Second
Abba Yusuf, the governor of Kano State, has fired Adamu Aliyu, the commissioner for lands, for making what may be considered careless remarks.
In response to allegations that the judges had been bought off, Aliyu threatened the state’s tribunal judges, asking them to choose between money and their lives.
The Kano State Government House’s Commissioner for Information, Baba Dantiye, however, said in a statement on Friday that Governor Yusuf holds the judges in high regard and respect and would not tolerate any disrespect against them.
Along with the commissioner, the governor dismissed Aliyu Yusuf, his Special Advisor on Youth and Sports.
The sack comes a day after Aliyu promised to unleash mayhem on residents of the state, one worse than what residents of neighbouring Kaduna and Zamfara are going through.
Addressing New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) members on Thursday, he said, “Any judge that allows himself to be used and collect bribes and pass judgment that is not right, we want to tell him he must choose between his life and the bribe money he collected.”
“You have seen the conflict (banditry) in Zamfara, Kaduna, and Katsina,” he warned. “I swear because of this governorship seat, everyone will die. The conflict that will start in Kano will be deadlier than the ones in those states and Borno.”
The statement has sent shockwaves through the state’s political landscape, raising serious concerns about the impartiality and safety of the judges overseeing the election dispute.
