THE Kano State Judicial Service Commission has terminated the appointment of two Shariah Court Judges, Yusuf Kawu and Abdulmuminu Nuhu, for various offences bordering on misuse of office.
A magistrate, Nasir Ado, was also dismissed for alleged misconduct.
The decisions were taken at the 76th meeting of the Commission based on recommendations by the Judiciary Public Complaint Committee (JPCC).
The spokesperson of the Kano State Judiciary, Baba Jibo Ibrahim, who made the developments known in a statement, revealed that two court registrars, Salisu Nayola and Shamsu Abbas, were also ordered to proceed on compulsory retirements.
He said Magistrate Ado was found guilty of conducting a proceeding without record, and when asked, he falsified and tampered with the record to show that there was a record of proceeding.
Also, Alkali Yusuf used his position to release a convict who was sentenced by another Alkali to 12 calendar months without the option of a fine in a correctional centre.
