Adamu Kibiya, the state’s commissioner of land and physical planning, has been fired by Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Kibiya was fired for intimidating the judges overseeing the state’s governorship election petition tribunal.
Kibiya was heard imploring the judges to choose between their lives and their work while delivering the verdict in a social media video that went viral.

He said during a protest organised by members of the ruling New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the state, “People voted for us and some people are attempting to do injustice. We want to tell the judges that we will not accept this. Any judge that is willing to deprive us of our rights will regret it. Whatever will happen, we won’t care.”
At a press conference at Government House in Kano on Friday, the state’s commissioner of information, Baba Halilu Dantiye, claimed the governor had ordered Kibiya’s immediate removal.
