This is according to Kano State Attorney General Barrister Ibrahim Mukthar.
According to him “we want all parties to have what would be seen as proper representation. We feel it is better to have legal practitioners on the two sides of every criminal prosecution in the state.” Mr. Mukhtar said that “the criminal justice system in Kano has witnessed a major leap from the 24th day of December 2019 because we have put machinery in place to gradually take over the entire criminal prosecution from the police in the state.”
Already, “we have started with 14 magistrates’ courts in No-man’s-land, where we have deployed three lawyers to prosecute cases before each of the 14 courts.
