A Kano High Court has issued an interim injunction restraining the Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) and four other parties from interfering in the affairs of Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria (MAAUN), Kano.
The order was made by Justice Sanusi Ado Ma’aji of the Kano Judicial Division while ruling on an ex parte motion filed by the management of the private university.
The respondents in the suit include the Kano State Government, the PCACC, the Kano State House of Assembly, the state Attorney-General, and some concerned parents of the institution.
In the order dated December 11, 2025, Justice Ma’aji restrained the respondents, or anyone acting on their behalf, from inviting officials of the university or interfering in its administrative and academic activities, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
The court also directed all parties to maintain the status quo between the applicant and the first respondent until the originating summons is determined.
Additionally, the court granted the university leave to serve court processes on the fifth respondent at its office located at No. 224, Sabo Bakin Zuwo, Kano.
The case was adjourned to December 29, 2025, for further hearing.
