COURT OF APPEAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE OF SHEIKH ABDULJABBAR NASIRU KABARA

Awareness for Human Rights and Charity Foundation wishes to formally inform the public that our representatives were present at the sitting of the Court of Appeal held on Thursday, 23rd April 2026, at the Audu Bako Secretariat, Kano, regarding the appeal filed by Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara.

During the proceedings, the Honourable Court, presided over by Justice Mohammed Lawal-Shuaibu alongside Justice Abubakar Mu’azu-Lamido and Justice Ahmad Ramat-Mohammed, carefully reviewed the appeals submitted by both the appellant and the Kano State Government.

Upon thorough examination, the Court observed that the appeals were not properly filed in accordance with established legal procedures. Consequently, the Court struck out all the appeals in their entirety on the grounds of procedural irregularities.

Furthermore, the Court strongly advised Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara to engage the services of a qualified legal practitioner, emphasizing the gravity and sensitivity of the case, and noting that proper legal representation would ensure due process and fair hearing.

It was also noted during the sitting that the appellant appeared without legal counsel, while the Kano State Government was duly represented by Barrister Bashir Sale and Barrister I.A. Garba.

In a significant directive, the Court recommended that the Honourable Chief Judge of Kano State should facilitate an appropriate legal framework that would enable the proper refiling of the appeal, ensuring that all procedural requirements are duly complied with.

The Court further emphasized the need for an expedited hearing once the appeal is correctly refiled, in the interest of justice and to avoid unnecessary delays in a matter of such public importance.

This development marks another critical phase in the ongoing legal proceedings involving Sheikh Abduljabbar, a case that has continued to attract widespread public attention both within and outside Kano State, particularly following the capital sentence delivered by a Shari’a Court in 2022.

Awareness for Human Rights and Charity Foundation reaffirms its commitment to monitoring the case closely, advocating for the protection of fundamental human rights, adherence to due process, and the timely administration of justice.

𝗔𝗛𝗥𝗖𝗙 Human Rights Organization strongly condemns the reported military air strike that killed over 100 people at Jalli Futchimiram, Geidam Local Government Area of Yobe State.
This tragic incident represents a grave violation of human rights and raises serious concerns about the use of excessive and indiscriminate force in civilian areas. No security operation should come at the cost of innocent lives, and the protection of civilians must remain a top priority at all times.
We call on the Nigerian authorities to immediately launch an independent, transparent, and impartial investigation into this incident. Those found responsible must be held accountable in accordance with the law.
AHRCF also urges the government to provide urgent medical assistance to the injured and adequate support to the families of the victims affected by this devastating event.
We stand in solidarity with the people of Geidam and all those impacted by this tragedy, and we reaffirm our commitment to advocating for justice, accountability, and the protection of human rights across Nigeria.

ALLEGED NEW INEC POLICY THREATENS VOTING RIGHTS – AHRCF CONDEMNS ANY ATTEMPT TO DISENFRANCHISE CITIZENS

The Awareness for Human Rights and Charity Foundation (AHRCF) expresses deep concern over emerging reports suggesting that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is considering the introduction of a policy that would require citizens to revalidate their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) as a condition for participation in upcoming elections.

If confirmed, this move represents:
A direct threat to the constitutional rights of citizens
A calculated attempt to suppress voter turnout
And an unjust burden on already struggling Nigerians
We ask critical questions that demand urgent answers:

Why introduce such a policy at a time when elections are fast approaching?

On what legal or administrative basis are previously issued voter cards being questioned?

Is this not a deliberate strategy to disenfranchise eligible voters?

As a human rights organization, AHRCF strongly emphasizes that the right to vote is fundamental and protected under Nigeria’s Constitution. Any action that seeks to obstruct or restrict this right is unacceptable and must be resisted.

OUR DEMANDS:
Immediate clarification from INEC to address these reports and dispel public uncertainty.

Suspension of any proposed policy that could hinder citizens from exercising their voting rights.

Assurance that the electoral process remains transparent, inclusive, and accessible to all eligible Nigerians.

We call on civil society organizations, stakeholders, and the general public to remain vigilant and united in defending democratic values. Any attempt to undermine the people’s will must be collectively challenged.

A WORD OF CAUTION:
AHRCF will not hesitate to pursue all lawful and civic avenues to resist any policy that seeks to disenfranchise Nigerians.

Democracy cannot thrive where citizens are denied their right to vote.
