FM staff Yakubu Musa and Mubarak Mohammed Sani, and former Director
General of Kano Films and Censorship Board, Abubakar Rabo have been
granted bail by a Kano Magistrate Court today.
They are to
present two sureties each at the sum of N100,000 one of whom must be a
community leader or a head of department of the organisation in which
the accused is an employee.
The case was adjourned till March 13, 2013 for further hearing.
The
trio were arraigned before a Gyadi-Gyadi Magistrate’s Court after their
arrest over allegations of instigating the attack on the polio
officials in Kano on February 8.
The court was told that Rabo had
on February 4, refused to allow polio officials to immunize his
children, and that when the district head of Tarauni Local Government
went to find out his reasons the following day, he conspired with the
two journalists who aired a local programme called “Sandar Girma”. The
prosecutor added that on the programme, the duo “discredited the polio
immunization programme, defamed the character, reputation and
personality of the district head in addition to instigating the attack
on the polio officials”.
