A Kano Magistrate Court, presided over by Magistrate Auwalu Yusuf, has sentenced Ibrahim Abubakar to three months’ imprisonment for burning vehicle tires on a public road, an act that violates pollution control and public health laws.

The case was prosecuted by the Kano State Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, represented by its legal counsel, Barrister Bahijjah Aliyu, who secured the conviction.

Abubakar was arrested by police patrol officers in the Tukuntawa Gidan Radio area following complaints from residents about the hazardous burning of vehicle tires, which releases toxic smoke harmful to public health.

The Director of Pollution Control, Ibrahim Nasir, led an inspection team to the location, leading to the filing of the case at the Magistrate Court.

During the trial, the prosecution presented evidence emphasizing the significant health risks posed by Abubakar’s actions.

In his judgment, Magistrate Yusuf convicted Abubakar and sentenced him to three months in prison or payment of a fine. The magistrate cautioned him against repeating such conduct, highlighting its detrimental impact on human health.

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change praised the court’s decision and reaffirmed its dedication to enforcing environmental laws in Kano State.

Residents were urged to comply strictly with environmental regulations to protect public health and the environment.
