Appeals Court ‘Typo error’ on judgment CTC ‘outrageously scandalous’ – Govt of Kano

Haruna Dederi, the Commissioner for Justice in Kano State, has termed the claim regarding the inaccuracy on the Certified True Copy (CTC) of its verdict on the state’s governorship election as “outrageously scandalous.”
It was previously reported that the court fired state Governor Abba Yusuf and deemed Nasiru Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) the winner of the March election.

However, a CTC of the verdict released on Tuesday confirmed Yusuf’s success.

While the court addressed the situation, stating that it was a typing error, Kano State Justice Commissioner Haruna Dederi stated that such a development is “scandalous.”

“What is a typographical error?” he questioned on Channels TV. Does it have an impact on only one word? Does it have an effect on two words? Does it have an effect on three words? How can a typo influence entire paragraphs? As I already stated, this cannot be accepted by any discernible thinking.

“This is outrageously scandalous, and it cannot be accepted.” We are dissatisfied.”

The Commissioner, who stated that the debate surrounding the verdict “has now been shifted to the Supreme Court,” expects that “it would be resolved there.”

Despite the clarification from the Appeal Court, he maintained that the current copy of the CTC is “the only version we have as the Court of Appeal’s judgment.”

“There is no corrected version,” he says, adding that the CTC’s accusations of typos are “untenable.” It cannot be accepted.”

Governor Yusuf and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have gone to the Supreme Court to appeal the ruling and seek justice.
