The culpable homicide case against the Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Doguwa, has taken a fresh dimension as a Kano High Court has ordered the state government to prosecute the lawmaker.

In the fresh order by Justice Maryam Sabo, the court compelled the Kano Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Musa Lawal, to exercise his powers as prescribed under Section 211 of the Constitution.

The federal legislator was accused of killing members of the opposition party in his Tudun-Wada constituency and razing New Nigeria Peoples Party secretariat in the community during the February 25 National Assembly elections. While the Federal High Court awaits determination of the substantive suit, Justice Sabo upheld the ex parte application seeking order of mandamus by Dandago on behalf of the victims.
