The Kaduna State Government has revived the criminal case filed against the former Wazirin Zazzau, Alhaji Ibrahim Muhammad Aminu, after a long period without progress in the proceedings. The state government had initially charged Alhaji Ibrahim Aminu with offences bordering on forgery, use of forged documents, and violation of the Official Secrets Act during the selection process of a new Emir of Zazzau following the death of the late Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Idris, in 2020. The matter was again mentioned before Chief Magistrate Court 1, Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Kaduna, for continuation of hearing. Speaking with journalists after the court session, the State Counsel from the Kaduna State Ministry of Justice, SS Idris, explained that the case was revived following the appointment of a new magistrate to the court. According to him, the change of magistrate caused the delay in the continuation of proceedings before the matter was re-listed for hearing. SS Idris further stated t...

By Usman Dahiru, Bauchi  From the way reports and allegations related to dishonesty continue to emerge concerning former NAPIMS official, Bala Wunti, with reports linking him to allegations of corruption during his time in office, the people of Bauchi State are increasingly beginning to understand the kind of politics that has long been played against them: politics that uses power as a shield against investigation and as a tool for protecting personal interests. The allegations suggesting attempts to use political party structures and closeness to those in power to evade accountability are not surprising to keen observers of Bauchi politics. For a long time, there have been clear signs that some individuals see politics as a refuge for protection rather than an opportunity to serve the people. It is deeply unfortunate that discussions about political ambitions and allocation of positions are taking place at a time when ordinary citizens are battling poverty, insecurity...

The Kaduna State Government has approved the promotion of 321 staff members of Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, in a move aimed at strengthening manpower and improving service delivery in the institution. The approval was conveyed in a letter dated April 28, 2026, signed by the Commissioner for Education, Abubakar Sani Sambo. The promotions, which take effect from January 1, 2026, cut across various cadres within the polytechnic, although they are subject to ratification by the institution’s governing council when reconstituted. Among those promoted are eleven Chief Lecturers, regarded as the highest academic rank, as well as six Deputy Registrars within the administrative cadre.

Reacting to the development, the Rector of the institution, Mohammed Kabir Abdullahi, expressed appreciation to the Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, for creating an enabling ...
