Kano Lawyer Hamisu Dandago Faces Forgery Charges

Hamisu Dandago, a lawyer based in Kano, has been arraigned in a Kano court on charges of forgery and dissemination of false information. He is accused of preparing a forged document in the name of a company and presenting it to the court in an attempt to withdraw an ongoing case.

Dandago has denied the allegations against him. His counsel, Barrister Danjuma Hussaini, applied for bail, which was not opposed by the prosecution counsel, Barrister A’isha Bashir Minjibir.

Magistrate Haulatu Magaji Kankarofi ruled in favor of granting bail, stipulating that Dandago's sureties would forfeit N500,000 each if he failed to appear in court as required.
