KANO, NIGERIA (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A Kano High court on Monday ordered the state House of Assembly investigative committee to stop investigation on the bribery allegation leveled against Governor Abdullah Ganduje, pending determination of a case filed before it on the matter.

The order followed a suit filed by one Muhammad Zubair for himself and the National Coordinator of Lawyers for Sustainable Democratization of Nigeria.

The suit is against three defendants: the Kano state House of Assembly, Chairman of the investigative committee, Baffa Babba Dan-Agundi and the Attorney General of the state and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ibrahim Muktar.

The Presiding Judge, Justice A T Badamasi, in an interim injunction, ordered the parties involved to maintain status quo pending the hearing of the motion on notice.
