A Magistrates’ Court sitting in Kano on Wednesday issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Malam Kabiru Ado-Panshekara, the Chairman of Kumbotso Local Government Council in the state for failure to appear before it.

The Presiding Judge, Magistrate Musa Ibrahim, issued the warrant following the refusal of the defendant to appear in court to enter his plea over a charge of criminal breach of trust.

Prosecution counsel, Mr Salisu Tahir told the court that on May 9, the defendant being the Chairman of Kumbotso Local Government Council was entrusted with the 1,632 forms for the distribution of COVID-19 palliatives.

“The defendant dishonestly diverted some of the forms to persons that were not supposed to enjoy the COVID-19 palliatives,” he said.

“One of Ado-panshekara’s aides called me that they are on their way, ” he said.
