The Kano State Judicial Service Commission (KSJSC) has disciplined several judges and court officials for misconduct, financial irregularities, and ethical breaches.
In a statement by the judiciary’s spokesperson, Baba Jibo Ibrahim, the Commission said the decisions followed investigations by the Judiciary Public Complaints Committee (JPCC) during its 86th meeting on October 30, 2025.
Among those sanctioned are Isa Yuguda Wudilawa, demoted for diverting official funds; and Alkali Ibrahim Isah Usman, warned and denied promotion for executing judgment before the appeal window elapsed. Others include Alkali Shamsu Maul’ainaini, demoted and suspended for tampering with records, and Ibrahim Salim, dismissed for forgery and bribery.
The Commission commended Alkali Ali Jibrin Danzaki for exposing misconduct within his court and issued a public reprimand against retired judge Alkali Munzali Tanko for holding court sessions after retirement.
Reiterating its zero tolerance for indiscipline, the KSJSC said it remains committed to promoting integrity, transparency, and accountability within the judiciary.
