A Kano State High Court has revoked the bail previously granted to a man accused of a violent assault at the Danladi Nasidi Housing Estate.
Justice Aisha Yau of High Court No. 10, Bompai Road, ordered on Wednesday that Kabiru Aminu be remanded in prison custody pending the continuation of his trial. The accused is facing charges including Criminal Trespass, Armed Robbery, and Causing Hurt.
The decision followed an application by the prosecution, led by state counsel Basiru Kabiru Aliyu, who argued for the revocation based on the gravity of the offences and in the interest of justice. The accused had initially been granted bail by a magistrate’s court, a decision that had sparked public concern given the serious nature of the allegations.
The case, officially titled State v. Kabiru Aminu, stems from a violent incident at the housing estate located in the Kumbotso Local Government Area.
The Kano State Ministry of Justice confirmed the court’s ruling in a statement. The Ministry, acting under the directive of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and led by Attorney-General Abdulkarim Kabiru Maude, SAN, hailed the outcome as a major legal breakthrough.
The state government has assured the public that it will diligently prosecute the case to its conclusion, pledging to pursue justice “without fear or favour” in line with principles of fairness and transparency.
