Katsina gov swears in two new Kadis, urges justice, fairness

Katsina State Governor, Mallam Dikko Umaru Radda, on Wednesday, swore in two new Kadis of the Upper Sharia Court, urging them to dispense justice with integrity, fairness and the fear of Allah.

The newly appointed Kadis, Kadi Ibrahim Abdullahi Yakubu Dandume and Kadi Bala Salisu Daura, were recommended by the National Judicial Council and subsequently approved by the governor. They were sworn in during a ceremony at the Government House in Katsina.

Addressing the new judicial officers, Radda said the oath of office they had taken was a solemn covenant that clearly defined their responsibilities.

“On occasions like this, I do not usually make a lengthy speech because whatever I am going to say has already been contained in the oath of office you have just taken. You know the responsibility you have accepted, and you know what you have sworn to uphold.

“At a critical time like this, when the fair and impartial dispensation of justice is essential to peace, harmony and peaceful coexistence, you have a great responsibility to serve the people and the state with integrity, fairness and the fear of Allah,” he added.

Radda said the appointments would strengthen the state’s judiciary and enhance public confidence in the Sharia judicial system, while commending the judiciary under the leadership of the Chief Judge for its commitment to justice delivery.

He also reaffirmed his administration’s support for the judiciary and urged all institutions to contribute to sustaining peace and security across the state.

“We do not have any State better than Katsina. Therefore, all of us must continue to work together, cooperate with one another, and remain united in making Katsina State a better place for all our people,” the governor said.
