A High Court sitting in Kano has issued an interim injunction restraining the recently acclaimed elected Executive management committee of the Kano Civil Society Forum, to hence forth desist from parading themselves as the Forum leaders
The injunction came following a case filed by some aggrieved members on behalf of the registered members of the Forum who were side-lined and excluded during the conduct of the election. It could be recalled that, Kano Civil Society Forum Board of Trustees, appointed an electoral committee to organize a fair, credible and acceptable elections, under the chairman ship of Alh. Hamisu Isa Sharifai, however, the elections was full of irregularities, unprofessionalism, unfair treatment to many of the members that contested the elections, exclusion, and lack of neutrality and above all, was a total disregards to the genuine complaints of the majority of the registered members, totalling to about 100 organizations
Similarly, before the conduct of the elections on 8th June, 2024, many members of the Forum complained to the Board of Trustees of non inclusion of many registered members, and requested the Board to postpone the elections in the interest of fairness and inclusion. Unfortunately and to our surprise, the Board refused to heed to the request of the members, and went ahead to authorize the conduct of the elections, despite the repeated demands by the members from all quarters
The Kano State High Court, presided over by Hon. Justice Aisha Ya'u, in a motion expert dated 29th July, 2024, granted the request of the applicants and issued an interim injunction restraining those claimed to be elected, to stop parading themselves as executives of the Kano Civil Society Forum, pending the determination of the case, which is slated to come up for hearing on 10th Sept. 2024
