The ruling, delivered by Justice Sunusi Ado Ma’aji on Tuesday, follows a motion ex parte filed by KANSIEC on September 20. The political parties affected by the injunction include the Accord Party, Action Alliance, Labour Party, New Nigeria People’s Party, and Peoples Democratic Party, among others.

In his ruling, Justice Ma’aji stated, “The defendants are restrained from taking any actions that would impede the plaintiff’s statutory duties to organize, conduct, regulate, and supervise the local government election in Kano State, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”

The judge further prohibited the defendants, along with their agents, from engaging in any activities that could disrupt KANSIEC’s oversight of the elections. The case is set to resume on October 10 for the hearing of the motion on notice.
