Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has warned that his government will not only begin to report Court Judges who connive with illicit drug barons but will print their names on the pages of Newspapers to expose their underhand dealings.
The Governor, who expressed surprise at the boldness of some drug dealers who seek legal means for the release of their confiscated illicit drug shipments, noted that his Government is ready to confront them and their judge’s alleged collaborator.
In a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, it was disclosed that the State Government is taken aback in its fight against illicit drug proliferation in the state by the actions of the drug barons and their alleged collaboration with Judges.
Governor Yusuf said he discovered that individuals engaged in the illicit drug trade had successfully procured court orders for the release of their seized contraband from the corrupt judges who do not mean well for Kano.
In response to the troubling development, Governor Yusuf instructed the state Attorney General to formulate a comprehensive strategy to prevent drug traffickers from exploiting legal loopholes in the state, and create a means that the situation will be taken care of.
He stressed the crucial necessity for collaboration between the judiciary and the government to shield the state from the dangers posed by drug trafficking.
Recognizing the diligence of KAROTA in apprehending illicit drugs, the Governor urged the agency to take the requisite actions to eliminate the confiscated substances.
