Muhyi Magaji Rimingado, the chairman of the Kano Anti-Corruption Commission suspended by Immediate past Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, has been reinstated by the National Industrial Court sitting in Kano.
The court ordered the new government to reinstate Rimingado to his position with immediate effect.
On Tuesday, the court, presided over by Justice Ebeye David Eseimo, ruled that the removal of the anti-corruption chairman from office was illegal, null, and void.
Rimingado had dragged the Kano State Government, Kano State House of Assembly, and Attorney General of the State to court to challenge his removal from office.
The court accepted and answered the three prayers of the claimant against the defendants.
It was ruled that the second defendant has no right to recommend the dismissal of the claimant without first hearing from the claimant and giving him the opportunity to defend himself.
