Lawan said this on Friday while addressing journalists after receiving the case diary, adding that the Kano State Commissioner of Police sent the diary on Friday.
“I will like to assure the general public that within a very short possible time, we are going to study the case diary with a view to giving our legal advice on it.”
The PUNCH reports Doguwa and others were apprehended by the Kano Police Command for criminal conspiracy and other offences.
Earlier, Lawan said the Ministry had resent the case diary back to the Police for further investigation by providing more information on the allegations against the defendant to warrant the Ministry of Justice to prosecute Doguwa.
The lawmaker, who was earlier charged to a Magistrates Court in Kano and remanded in custody but his lawyer, Nuraini Jimoh, SAN, file a suit to the Federal High Court with an exparte application for the enforcement of Doguwa’s rights and thereby appealing to the court to release the lawmaker on bail.
Doguwa was however granted bail in the sum of N500m by Justice Yunusa Muhammad
Part of the condition he must meet includes providing two sureties – one of which must be a first-class traditional ruler and the other, Permanent Secretary at the Federal Civil Service.
