The Federal High Court in Gusau has stopped the Zamfara State House of Assembly from removing Hon. Aliyu Ango Kagara, the APC lawmaker representing Talata Mafara South Constituency.
In a statement on Monday, the APC Publicity Secretary in Zamfara, Yusuf Idris Gusau, confirmed that the court’s decision followed a lawsuit (No. FHC/GSCS/10/2025) filed by Kagara against the state Assembly, its Speaker, and INEC, challenging his removal.
Presiding over the case, Justice Salim Olasupo Ibrahim issued an interim
injunction preventing INEC from conducting a bye-election for the seat. The court also ordered that the status quo be maintained until further proceedings.
The case has been adjourned to March 12, 2025.
