Channels TV reported that other staff members faced scrutiny for various offences, including abusing authority, overstepping roles, soliciting bribes, and corrupt practices. Sharia court judge Yusuf Kawu was recalled indefinitely for releasing a convicted criminal without following proper procedures.

The JSC also issued strong warnings to Magistrates Sanusi Atana and Alkali Abubakar Abdullahi for exceeding their jurisdictional limits. Finance Registrar Salisu Nayola was compulsorily retired for soliciting bribes, while court messenger Shuaibu Bello received a four-month suspension without pay for corrupt practices.

Ibrahim added that these disciplinary actions demonstrate the JSC’s commitment to upholding high standards of integrity within the Kano State Judiciary. As Baba Ibrahim emphasized, “misconduct will not be tolerated,” and every staff member is expected to adhere to the highest ethical standards.
