A source close to the cleric told one of our reporters that charges were already prepared against Abduljabbar who, according to the source, was to be picked up from the venue of the debate which held at the Kano State Shari’a Commission offices.
Police spokesperson in the state, DSP Abdullahi Kiyawa, confirmed the police invitation last night but insisted that the invitation had nothing to do with the Saturday’s debate.
“It is part of an ongoing case for which he is on bail. There was a petition from some scholars which the police had been working on and he routinely comes around as part of the investigation. He was to come on Friday but because of the preparation for the debate the day was shifted to allow him participate in the debate,” Kiyawa said.

By Bashir Bello
KANO – The much awaited debate between embattled cleric, Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara and Kano Scholars on Friday suffered set back as a magistrate Court sitting in Kano ordered that status quo be maintained by all parties.
Recall that the court had earlier ordered the closure of Kabara’s mosque, Islamic center and banned him from preaching following an oral exparte motion application by Wada A Wada (PSC) from the office of the Attorney General of Kano State and filed before the Chief Magistrate Court.
The Chief Magistrate, Mohammed Jibrin, ordered that the parties maintained status quo pending hearing of motion on notice.
