The Kano State High Court has ordered the remand of Barrister Dalhatu Shehu Usman at the Kurmawa Correctional Centre until November 6, 2026. This decision follows his arraignment by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission over allegations of fraud and forgery of receipts, as well as his failure to appear in court.
During the proceedings, Usman's defense counsel, Barrister A.A. Sani, contested the prosecution team's competence, claiming they lacked the authority to handle the case. Sani further requested the court to retain his client in correctional custody rather than returning him to the anti-corruption commission, where he had been held for over 10 days.
The judge adjourned the case until November 6 for a ruling on the preliminary objection regarding the prosecution team's authority. Justice Zuwaira Yusuf also decided to remand the defendant at the Kurmawa Correctional Centre until the next hearing.
