The Kano State Judicial Service Commission, JSC, has taken disciplinary action against a court registrar over misconduct.

This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Baba Jibo-Ibrahim, the spokesperson of the Kano State Judiciary.

He said that the decision was part of the resolutions reached at the JSC’s 82nd meeting held on Wednesday.

According to him, the commission, in line with its mandate to ensure discipline and integrity, adopted the recommendations of the investigation panel set up by the Judiciary Public Complaints Committee, JPCC.

The commission resolved to apply a series of disciplinary measures and administrative decisions.

“Court Registrar Salisu Sule was demoted by one grade level after the JPCC found overwhelming evidence of misconduct in four separate complaints bordering on insults, intimidation, and abuse of office.

“The two reinstated magistrates are Chief Magistrate Mustapha Sa’ad-Datti and Chief Magistrate Rabi Abdulkadir,” he said.

He said investigation revealed that Sule consistently used the name of the judiciary to harass and intimidate the public in the course of his duties.

“The JSC had  issued a warning letter to him dated Decembee 19, 2024, and has now resolved to impose this stiffer sanction, demoting him by one grade level with immediate effect,” he said.

The statement added that after careful review, the Commission resolved that Mustapha Sa’ad-Datti and Rabi Abdulkadir should resume sitting and continue with their judicial duties.

“They are, however, admonished to uphold the highest standards of integrity, diligence, and professionalism in the discharge of their judicial functions,” the statement said.

Jibo-Ibrahim said Ahmad Aliyu Danmaraya, a Principal Registrar attached to the High Court Headquarters in Kano, was directed to proceed on compulsory retirement with immediate effect for acts of gross misconduct.

“The JPCC found Danmaraya guilty of forging an affidavit, affixing the High Court stamp and seal, and inscribing a fake receipt number, knowing fully well that he is not a commissioner for oaths,” he said.
