#ENDBADGOVERNANCEINNIGERIA protesters who invaded the Kano State High Court during the nationwide protests carted away some of the documents used in the corruption trial of former governor and now National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Kano State governor Abba Kabir Yusuf disclosed this to journalists when he paid a visit to the court for an on-the-spot assessment of the damages.
He was accompanied by the state Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Isah Dederi, the Chief Registrar of the High Court, Abdullahi Ado Bayero, and other high-ranking judiciary officials.Kano State government had dragged Ganduje, his wife, Hafsat Umar, his son, Umar Abdullahi, and five others to the court on eight counts- charges bothering on misappropriation and diversion of funds during his eight-year tenure as governor.
The court is among the properties vandalised and looted by hoodlums during the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protests.
In a statement made available to journalists by the governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, Governor Yusuf described the incident as a “masterminded and stage-managed mission” aimed at disrupting the ongoing corruption cases against Ganduje.
“It is very unfortunate that enemies of Kano State hired undesirable elements to vandalise one of the historic public buildings with a mission of averting corruption charges against the Acting National Chairman of APC and former governor of the state, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, his family, and aides,” the statement read.
The statement added that the miscreants destroyed virtually all units of the High Court, including the office of the state Chief Judge, with loss accruing to more than N1 billion through stealing of office equipment, destroying offices, burning cars and other relevant materials crucial to the dispensation of justice.
Yusuf called on youths in the state to desist from being used by detractors to engage in violence.
He advised them to rather concentrate on skill acquisition for a better future, emphasizing that the government would not relent in securing the lives and property of the people of the state. 
He commiserated with the Chief Judge, Dije Abdu Aboki and the entire Judiciary family for the ugly incident, urging them to brace up to cover what was lost in the court proceedings for the benefit of the common man.
He also commended the people of the state for their support and cooperation with the present administration and prayed for the sustenance of the tempo for peace, stability, prosperity, and economic development.
