The Kano State Judicial Service Commission has directed a Sharia court judge and the Acting Director of Information and Statistics, Shari’a Court of Appeal, to proceed on compulsory retirement with immediate effect.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by Baba Jibo Ibrahim, the spokesperson for the Kano State Judiciary.
