The principal counsel also argued that contrary to the media report, it was Muaz’s lawyer, who had drawn the notice of the court to purported bad health of his client, adding that there was no time the court took any judicial notice of the suspect.

Muaz is facing four count charges bordering on criminal defarmation of character, assault, intentional insult to discredit and disaffection against the personality of Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, contrary to section 114, 264 and 399 of the Kano state penal code.
