Zamfara commissioner is remanded in court for contempt
On Monday, a Zamfara High Court in Gusau remanded the state Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Alhaji Ibrahim Magayaki, in custody for contempt of court.
Justice Bello Shinkafi, the presiding Judge, ordered that the commissioner be remanded in the Gusau Correctional Centre.
He stated that the court relied on Section 6 of the Penal Code Law after the commissioner disobeyed a court order.
In a case involving the Zamfara government and Dumbulum Investment, Justice Shinkafi stated that the commissioner disobeyed a court order.
According to him, Dumbulum Investment obtained court permission to seize some of the state government’s movable assets, including tractors.
According to the judge, the Agriculture Commissioner defied the court order and sold some of the tractor parts that had already been attached by the court.
Meanwhile, Mr Misbahu Salauddeen, Counsel to the Creditors and Applicants, told reporters shortly after the court hearing that the remand order was based on his clients’ application.
Meanwhile, the judgment debtors, led by Mr. M. Sulaiman, claimed that he was not authorized to give press interviews by the state’s Attorney-General.
The case was adjourned until December 16, 2022, to allow for the continuation of the hearing in the suit.
