He explained the Court of Appeal’s ruling: “The lead judge recommended transferring the case to the state’s Chief Judge for a fair hearing, but the court ruled it lacked jurisdiction, without dismissing our claims.”

Dan’Agundi emphasised, “The other two judges disagreed, leading to the appeal being struck out. We are now taking the matter to the Supreme Court. Whatever the final decision, we submit to the will of Allah. Until then, no one should declare victory.”

He urged calm and lawfulness among Kano residents while the legal process continues.
