Ganduje Bribery: Court Orders Daily Nigerian To Stop Publishing Videos
A Kano high court has granted an interim injunction sought by Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano state governor, restraining Daily Nigerian Newspaper and Jafaar Jafaar, its publisher, from publishing videos about him.
ORIENTAL TIMES recalls the news platform had published videos showing Ganduje allegedly collecting kickbacks from contractors handling projects in the state.
Ganduje had subsequently filed a N3 billion suit against the newspaper.
The governor asked the court to declare the publication as wrongful and a defamation of character.
In its ruling on Monday, the court restrained Jafaar and Daily Nigerian, listed as the first and second defendants, and their agents from “publishing, sharing or spreading videos injurious to the plaintiff/applicant pending the determination of the substantive application slated for hearing on the 6th of December 2018”.
The contractor behind the videos had said he was ready to testify before the Kano state assembly panel investigating the matter.
The Kano state house of assembly investigative committee on the matter, also recently halted its investigations following a court order.
Ganduje was on Friday given the Africa Value Award for “effective leadership and economic empowerment”.

Too sad and idiotic, if you aren’t guilty why seeking court injunction. The whole wide world is convinced that you are a criminal. Indeed you are a disgrace and a bunch of shame. Surely someday you small be prosecuted hence, a criminal case with evidence.
For how long shall @APC GOVERNMENT live in Nigeria? Very soon your deeds shall kill APC government permanently. Gandollar you are a mortal enemy to the nations development, History shall be very harsh on you.
