Hon. Sani Bala. A lawmaker who embodies the very essence of public service, an epitome of stewardship, and a great loyal patriotic citizen. Bala is a tireless advocate for his constituents, a loyal party member, and a dedicated legislator.

Hon Sani Umar Bala Tsanyawa born in Tsanyawa Local Government of Kano State, Nigeria, is a learned engineer, a politician, and a member representing Kunchi/Tsanyawa constituency in the Federal House of Representatives. Looking at his humble beginnings, and rise into political status, one would wonder less at the harem of marvelous portfolios in his study. These are achievements earned on sheer hardwork, resilient study, with loyal and honest dealings all through his long political walk.

Engr. Hon Sani Bala’s work ethic is unparalleled. Through regular town hall meetings, grassroots engagements, and a genuine understanding of their needs, he has formed a close bond with the people he represents. He is known for his relentless pursuit of progress and development, both within his constituency and at the national level. His constituents have come to recognize him as a representative who is always available and willing to go the extra mile. Despite the demanding nature of his role as Chairman of the House Committee on Public Service, Engr. Hon Sani Bala remains an active member of every other committee he serves on, demonstrating his commitment to contributing his expertise and efforts to various issues and policy matters.

Eng. Hon Sani is known for his fierce approach to oppression, and his thoughtful and milk approach to resolution. For the people of his Kaduna Federal Constituency, Bala is more than just a representative; his availability and accessibility have made him a familiar face in his constituency, ensuring that he remains attuned to their challenges and aspirations. He is renowned for his door-to-door campaigns, where he personally interacts with his constituents, understanding their needs and concerns firsthand. Whether it’s addressing issues of infrastructure development, education, or healthcare, Bala is a champion for their well-being. This deep connection has allowed him to effectively advocate for their interests and work towards improving their lives.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
