A Federal High Court sitting in Kano has barred the chairman and members of the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) from holding offices in the commission.
The court equally barred KANSIEC from conducting the local government elections in the state scheduled for Saturday, October 26.
Justice S.A Amobede made the declaration on Tuesday while delivering judgment in a suit filed by Aminu Aliyu Tiga, a manner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against KANSIEC, the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Haruna Isa Dederi, and 14 others.
The court held that the KANSIEC chairman and other members of the commission are card-carrying members of the ruling New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and are not civil servants above grade level 14, therefore cannot hold offices in the commission.
