A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has stopped the Kano State Independence Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) from imposing N5 million and N10 million charges on candidates in the forthcoming local government polls in the state.
The commission earlier imposed N5m and N10m fee on councillorship and chairmanship candidates respectively for the election.
The suit was instituted by Action Democratic Party (ADP), Action Peoples Party (APP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The Kano State Independence Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) is the respondent in the suit.
