Hundreds of supporters of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Governor Abba Yusuf on Wednesday, took to the streets in protest over the Certified True Copy of the Appeal Court’s ruling on the Kano governorship election.
By about 2:00pm, the protesters gathered at Filin Mahaha for a special prayer session, demanding that justice be done in the case.
Residents were seen on the streets in videos shared online as their numbers kept increasing by the minute.
However, reports say the police managed to disperse the protesters along the Dan Agundi area of the state.
On Monday, the Appeal Court sacked Governor Yusuf, who was elected on the Platform of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
However, after a Certified True Copy of the Court of Appeal’s ruling on the state governorship race surfaced, there were allegations that the Appeal Court, in the CTC, upheld the election of Governor Yusuf.
Although the widely publicized ruling from the Court last Friday suggested that the appellate Court maintained the petition tribunal’s decision to remove Governor Abba Yusuf, the state’s attorney general and commissioner for justice, Haruna Isa-Dederi, contended that the judgment’s CTC indicated that that the appeal court upheld Yusuf’s election victory.
