Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has been called upon to intervene in the case of Malam Surajo Yarima, whose house, valued at approximately N20 million, was reportedly sold for just N2 million by a court in an auction.
Yarima alleged in an interview with Hikima Radio/TV that his property was auctioned to settle a debt of N300,000 that he owed.
He explained that due to his absence from the state, he missed court hearings despite being served with multiple summon notices.
As a result, the court auctioned his house, evicting him, his wife, and nine children. Yarima claimed he had since repaid the N300,000 debt, but the creditor refused to accept it. The court, however, stated that Yarima had the option to appeal the verdict within three weeks of the ruling.
“The house was auctioned on 4th January and I brought the N300,000 on 6th January, but my creditor refused to accept it. I am now sleeping outside with my family,” he stated.
