@obyezeks You might want to add your voice here. This seems similar to the case of a young man from Kano who eloped with a teenage girl from Bayelsa. He served a prison term for that indiscretion.

President Bola Tinubu’s government detained these minors since August, for protesting against hunger and corruption, without access to legal assistance or family. Because of the horrifying condition of the detention many of them need urgent medical attention:
You can report suspected corruption cases or how to curb it in AKTH to ACTU via this handle. Preferably via DM for confidentiality. Remember, only suspected corruption cases are entertained by ACTU not service complaints.
During World War 1, the Sultan of Sokoto and several Emirs in northern Nigeria contributed funds to support the British campaign against the Germans in West Africa. The Shehu of Borno, Abū Bakr Garbai, donated £4000, along with horses and donkeys, on 14 Dhū al-Qaʿdah 1332 (3 October 1914). He also requested that £800 of his donation to Lugard and the British be used to fund schools where people can learn to read and write.
Two weeks later, on 28 Dhū al-Qaʿdah 1332 (17 October 1914), the Emir of Kano, Muḥammad ʿAbbās, contributed £6542 from Kano's Bayt al-māl to support the British war expenses against the Germans.
Emir of Abuja, Suleimanu Barau, donated £96 to the British, while Sultan Muḥammad al-Ṭāhir Il of Sokoto donated £7539 from the Bayt al-māl of the defunct caliphate.
In addition to conscripting the Nigerian regiment artillery into the West African Frontier Force, the emirates in northern Nigeria supplied some of the funds the British used in World War 1.

One thing a lot of people do not know about Kano election case is that there is nothing like 165,000 unsigned ballots tendered before the tribunal. Let me repeat, NOTHING like that. What was brought before the tribunal (Exhibit P5 to P34 and Exhibit P158 to P161) were photocopies of random ballot papers that are NOT more than 10,000. The ballots were never counted in open court. The APC provided mere samples of the ballots without specific pleadings about the PUs they got them from. The irony is that some of the samples are duly signed and stamped. What the tribunal criminally did was to manufacture the numbers in order to award victory to the ruling party, APC.
