Court Postpones Buhari’s Impersonator’s Case

A Kano Magistrates’ Court moves the case of President Muhammadu Buhari’s long-term campaigner, Abdulmajid Danbilki-Commander on May 30.

Chief Magistrate, Kabiru Abubakar, suspended the hearing of the case that was supposed for Thursday.

Danbilki-Commander, 58, who resides at Koki Quarters, Kano, had pleaded not guilty to a three-count charges of intentional insult, character defamation and inciting disturbance.

The Prosecuting counsel, Mr. Sunday Ekwe, had told the court that two Special Assistants to President Muhammadu Buhari on media, Sha’aban Sharada and Bashir Ibrahim, as well as Hafiz Ibrahim, reported the matter to Kano State Police Command Headquarters on January 21.

Ekwe told the court that on January 14, the defendant aired a programme on Aminci Radio in Kano, where he intentionally insulted the three complainants by defaming their character and reputation and called them liars.

He said that the defendant also impersonated Buhari and attempted to cause a misunderstanding within the APC ranks.

The prosecutor said the offences contravened sections 392, 399 and 114 of the Penal Code.

Ekwe however, called for an adjournment to allow the police complete investigation.
