A Federal High Court in Kano, presiding over a case against
the Kano State Government’s bid to obtain N10 billion for a CCTV project, has
discharged a restraining order allowing Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s government
to go ahead and obtain the loan for the project.
Kano First Forum, a non-governmental organisation took the
state government to court, trying to stop it from obtaining the loan.
However, Justice AM Liman of the Federal High Court One,
Gyadi Gyadi Road, Kano, ruled on Tuesday that the plaintiff, Yusuf Isiyaku
Rabiu, has misled the court in the case, therefore the interim restraining
order in the case has been discharged.
Liman further said in his ruling that the plaintiff has
misrepresented the fact in the filing of the case as such the order lacks locus
standi to be continued with and hereby discharged.
The judge transferred the case to a vacation judge in Abuja
as the court proceeded to vacation to continue with an interlocutory order
before the court on the same case.
It could be recalled that the Kano State Government had
sought the approval of the state House of Assembly to borrow N10 billion for
the CCTV project.
Already it was reported that the state House of Assembly had
approved the loan.
