The Court of Appeal in Kaduna has nullified the election of Kano State lawmaker, Jibrin Abdulmumin.
The decision followed the nullification of elections in two local government areas of Kiru/Bebeji Constituency. The appeal court ordered fresh elections in the constituency.
The judgement delivered by Adejoje Adepoju followed an observation by the court that the final result contained in Form EC (8)E as submitted for the constituency was mutilated.
Mr Jibrin who is a member of the All Progressives Congress, was declared the winner of the election by the electoral commission, INEC.
The Kano State election petition tribunal had in December dismissed a petition by Mr Jibrin’s contender, Aliyu Datti of the Peoples Democratic Party. That ruling has now been nullified by the appeal court decision.
