Mr Nureini Jimoh, the barrister who played a key role in the victory of the Malam Ibrahim Shekarau faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, was locked up in his chamber, on Wednesday.
Daily Trust had reported how a Federal High Court in Abuja dissolved the excos of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s APC faction, upholding that of Shekarau.
The presiding judge, Justice Hamza Muazu, had upheld the congresses conducted by the Shekarau faction of the party.
On Wednesday, police and officials of the Kano State government invaded Jimoh’s chamber situated at 16c Murtala Mohammed Way in Kano.
The officials sealed off the building while Jimoh and his staff were inside.
However, the property was unsealed later in the evening after outrage from different quarters including from the Kano branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
