The Federal High Court in Kano has stopped Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s administration’s request from borrowing N10billion for the installation of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in the state.
Justice Abdullahi Liman on Friday granted the prayers of a civil society coalition known as Kano First Forum (KFF), saying the status quo must be maintained on the issue of borrowing.
The group had on June 27 filed an exparte motion sworn to by the director-general of the association, Dr. Yusuf Isyaka-Rabiu.
KFF through its counsels, led by Badamasi Suleiman-Gandu, prayed the court to restrain Governor Ganduje from obtaining the N10 billion loan.
KFF is opposing the borrowing of the N10billion on the ground of non-compliance with rules and regulations governing loan transactions.
