A Kano high court has granted an interim injunction sought by Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano governor, restraining Daily Nigerian Newspaper and Jafaar Jafaar, its publisher, from publishing videos about him.

The newspaper had published videos showing the governor allegedly receiving bribe in dollars from contractors.

Ganduje had subsequently filed a N3 billion suit against the newspaper, asking the court to declare the publication as a defamation of character.
