A Kano State High Court has cleared Alhaji Ado Doguwa, a member of the House of Representatives, of murder charges.The court also awarded Mr. Doguwa N25 million in damages in a defamation lawsuit he filed against the Kano State Government and the police.

Mr. Doguwa was accused of murdering three people in 2019. He was exonerated by the previous administration, but the new governor reopened the case. Mr. Doguwa maintained his innocence and sued the state government and police for defamation.

In its ruling, the court found that the police and state government had no evidence to support the murder charges against Mr. Doguwa. The court also said that the reopening of the case was politically motivated.

Cooper, 67, was elected North Carolina governor in 2016, removing Republican incumbent Pat McCrory, and was re-elected in 2020 beating other Democrats on the ballot in a state won twice by former President Donald Trump.

Biden and Trump make history as the oldest presidential contenders in US history facing off in their first debate.

Published

on

Democratic Presidential candidate and US president Joe Biden and his Republican party challenger, Donald Trump, will square off on Thursday night, June 27 at a highly anticipated debate, offering voters a rare side-by-side look at the two oldest candidates ever to seek the country’s highest office.

 

The 90-minute televised debate, the first between a sitting president and a former president, will air at 9 p.m. ET (0100 GMT on Friday) on CNN and might have a record breaking viewership given that a record 84 million watched Trump’s first debate in 2016 against Hillary Clinton.

The debate takes place more than four months before the Nov. 5 Election Day.

 

Trump, 78, will take the stage as a felon who still faces a trio of criminal cases, including charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

 

The former president, who has suggested he will punish his political enemies if elected, will need to demonstrate to undecided voters that he does not pose a threat to democracy, as Biden claims.

Biden, 81, is under intense pressure to avoid stumbling on the debate stage and deliver a good debate performance, after months of assertions his faculties have degraded with his age.

 

Biden has trailed Trump in polls of most battleground states made Trump raise in millions of dollars after he was convicted in connection with hush money payments made to a porn star.

Biden campaign spokesperson, Michael Tyler, said the debate would show the contrast between Biden’s efforts to help Americans and Trump’s “unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution.”

Trump will focus on Biden’s handling of the southern U.S. border in the face of record numbers of migrants crossing illegally as well as the economy, particularly inflation, while also questioning his world leadership at a time of war in Gaza and Ukraine, Trump advisers said.

“Thursday night is going to be a great opportunity for President Trump to highlight his strength with Joe Biden’s weakness, highlight his record of success with Joe Biden’s record of failures,” campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said.

The second and final debate in this year’s campaign is scheduled for September.
