Katsina swears in two new Sharia court judges

Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State, 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 (NJC) and subsequently approved for appointment by the governor.

Speaking during the swearing-in ceremony at the Government House in Katsina, Radda described the oath of office as a sacred trust before God and humanity, stressing that justice remains the cornerstone of peace, stability and harmonious coexistence.

He said the appointments marked another milestone in strengthening the administration of justice and boosting public confidence in the state’s Sharia judicial system.

The governor noted that the appointments would further enhance the judiciary’s capacity to deliver timely, fair and impartial justice to the people of Katsina State.

“Whatever I am going to say has already been contained in the oath of office you have just taken. If you carefully reflect on that oath, there is hardly anything more that needs to be said. You know the responsibility you have accepted, and you know what you have sworn to uphold,” Radda said.

Kadi Dandume began his judicial career in 1992 as a registrar in the Magistrate and Sharia Courts before rising to become Upper Sharia Court Judge I. He holds a Bachelor of Laws degree in Common and Islamic Law from Bayero University, Kano, and has contributed to research on the administration of Sharia justice in Katsina State.

On his part, Kadi Daura has served in the Katsina State Judiciary for over 30 years, progressing from Assistant Registrar to Upper Sharia Court Judge II. He earned a Bachelor of Laws degree in Sharia and Civil Law from Al-Nahda International University and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Law.
