A Kano high court has granted an interim injunction sought by Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano governor, restraining Daily Nigerian Newspaper and Jafaar Jafaar, its publisher, from publishing videos about him.

The news platform had published videos showing Ganduje allegedly collecting kickbacks from contractors.

Ganduje had subsequently filed a N3 billion suit against the newspaper.

The governor asked the court to declare the publication as wrongful and a defamation of character.

In its ruling on Monday, the court restrained Jafaar and Daily Nigerian, listed as the first and second defendants, and their agents from “publishing, sharing or spreading videos injurious to the plaintiff/applicant pending the determination of the substantive application slated for hearing on the 6th of December 2018”.

The contractor behind the videos had said he was ready to testify before the Kano state assembly panel investigating the matter.

The Kano assembly committee recently halted its investigations following a court order.

Ganduje was on Friday given the Africa Value Award for “effective leadership and economic empowerment”.

Despite the allegations against Ganduje, President Muhammadu Buhari passed a vote of no confidence on the governor, describing him as “very responsible”.

APC........ CHANGE!!!

If its true, the Judge must be judged

I blame our style of democracy for this. in a sane country, he would have been forced to resign or be impeached.

Who do you think is the bigger thief

It will only happen in Nigeria where a governor with such glaring evidence is still on the seat of governance. A sane person faced with such overwhelming evidences would have resigned but no! Meanwhile the government talks about fighting corruption, eh?

APC is just bull crap

Only in Nigeria

Animal kingdom

Are you serious

Buhari is Fighting KWARRUPTION and NOT CORRUPTION

KWARRUPTION and CORRUPTION are two different things entirely ,

He hate Kwarruption
BUT he love CORRUPTION


even sarrki and other Buhari Media Aides are surprised at the court ruling

Thank God for the rule of law.

Is so painful the south south still support APC
Just imagine if there’s no oil in the south south

Of course. You want bubus 5million votes to be tampered with?

Gandujes case is enough to shut bubus trap on anything relating to anti corruption, but the shameless president and his handlers will still be shouting that they are fighting corruption and have the temerity to accuse another person of being corrupt.

Una no dey shame. Tufiaaaa

They are fighting corruption indeed.

APC

The governor asked the court to declare the publication as wrongful and a defamation of character.

How can it be a defamation when Ganduje has said he is not the one in the videos ? It is not Ganduje so why is he going to court ? He should summon the press conference and explain why and how it is not him in the video. He should order the security agencies to identify and arrest the actor. Shikena.

This government is the worst in Nigeria's history.

This news really make me sad. Which way Nigeria.
Buhari, I so much trust you that's why I voted for you then. Buhari, posterity will judge you

They would still publish it... they are basee in Abuja and the case is not a criminal case.

Judiciary = APC (according to comments on this thread). I've learnt something new today.

Regarding the report, the simple summary is that Nigeria isn't ripe for a democracy. We really should stop deceiving ourselves.

Corruption don swallow Nigeria.
