A Kano Upper Shari’a Court sitting in Shahuci has summoned Senator Ibrahim Shekarau over a disputed plot of land he donated to an Islamic school at Layin Mai Unguwar, Sabuwar Gandu in Kumbotso LGA.
The former governor had in 2021 donated the land to Imam Maliki bn Anas Litahfizul Qur’an Wattarbiyya Watta’alim at its graduation ceremony, attended by the Emir of Bichi and key government officials.
However, the immediate family members of the Senator entrusted with land are not comfortable with the gesture, and have allegedly sold it to an individual.
Parents and teachers of the school filed a complaint seeking the court to return to them the land donated by the senator via letter he personally signed on August 14, 2021.
