The Kano State Ministry of Justice has secured the revocation of bail previously granted to a defendant in an assault case.

Officials said the move reinforces the state government’s commitment to due process and the rule of law.

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Abdulkarim Kabiru Maude, disclosed that the legal action was taken under his leadership in alignment with directives from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The case, State v. Kabiru Aminu, involves the alleged assault of Rabi Hamza Danladi Nasidi.

Bail had originally been granted to the accused by Magistrate Court No. 36; however, the prosecution approached High Court No. 10 on Bompai Road, Kano, seeking a formal review of that decision.

During the hearing before Justice Aisha Yau, the prosecution applied for the revocation, citing the gravity of the charges and the interests of justice. After considering the application, the court granted the request, revoked the bail, and ordered the accused to be remanded in prison custody pending the determination of the case.

Reacting to the development, Maude reassured the public that the Ministry of Justice remains steadfast in its mandate.
