High Court Judge Dupes Shekarau

A serving High Court Judge in Kano state
Judiciary has allegedly connived with a woman
and duped former minister of education, Malam
Ibrahim Shekarau of the sum of $60,000.
Already, operatives from the office of the
assistant inspector general of police in charge of
Zone 1 have arrested his lordship for questioning
where he spent a night before granting him bail

The accused, Justice Kabiru Auta was arrested
by police at the venue of NBA conference
midway into activities of the learned professional
and threw the serene atmosphere into confusion
and disbelief with Judges, Khadis, lawyers and
other prominent personalities disgusted.
He is being accused of conniving with a woman
(now at large) who pretends to be Justice
Miriam Aloma Mukhtar, the erstwhile Chief
Justice of Nigeria and approached Shekarau and
solicited his donation towards building a befitting
mosque at the premises of the Supreme Court,
Abuja.
Unknown to him (Shekarau) and considering his
(Justice Auta’s) presumed closeness with the
former CJN, the former education minister gave
them $60,000 as his personal donation and
promised to talk to other prominent Nigerians to
contribute towards erecting the structure
intended to be her legacy after serving her
tenure.
However, the public relations officer of the zone
has confirmed the arrest of Justice Kabiru Auta
but said that he only spent a night there before
he was granted bail.
As at the time of filing this report, the assistant
inspector general of police (AIG) in Charge of
Zone1, has ordered the manhunt of Nasir Salisu
Zango, the journalist that broke the news who is
working with Freedom Radio, Kano.
