Kano ADC leader sues Danagundi, Ibn Sina over Independent Hisbah
A prominent Kano politician and leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Ibrahim Ali Amin, popularly known as Ibrahim Little, has gone to court to challenge the planned establishment of an Independent Hisbah body in Kano State.
Little filed the suit at the Kano State High Court, naming several individuals and institutions as respondents.
The case follows his earlier warning to those involved to suspend the plan in the interest of peace and stability in the state.
Before approaching the court, Little had written a formal letter to the parties behind the move.
The letter was addressed to former Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, with copies sent to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, Baffa Babba Danagundi, Haruna Ibn Sina, and the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to Little’s Executive Assistant and Media Aide, Adnan Mukhtar, the decision to seek legal action was taken after the parties allegedly ignored the warning and continued with the process.
“Dissatisfied with their recent actions and continued insistence on moving forward with the establishment process, Little approached the Kano State High Court to seek redress,” Mukhtar said.
Those listed as respondents in the suit include the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, the Kano State House of Assembly, the Attorney General of Kano State, the Kano State Hisbah Board, Baffa Babba Danagundi, and Haruna Ibn Sina.
In a statement shared on his official Facebook page, Little confirmed the legal action and explained his reasons.
“I have today instructed my lawyers to file an action challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah in Kano State. This follows my recent letter to the parties concerned and their insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah,” he said.
Little warned that the move could have serious consequences for peace in the state.
“I believe this move is an attempt to disrupt our peaceful coexistence at a time when the state is facing security challenges,” he added.
He stressed on the importance of unity and calm, saying: “The peace of Kano State remains our utmost priority.”
The court is expected to fix a date to hear the case.

“If you’re truly popular and your policies have positively bettered the lives of the citizens, you shouldn’t be afraid of a free and fair competition,” Atiku said.
