Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano state has approved the withdrawal of licences from all private schools within Ungogo council area of the state.
Spear News Nigeria gathered that the action followed allegations that a teacher sexually abused four female pupils.
The decision was proclaimed by the Education Councillor, Abdullahi Wakili, who said it followed a review meeting aimed at strengthening school oversight and addressing safety and moral concerns in the area.
Wakili explained that the council chairman, Tijjani Amiru Bilyaminu, has directed all private school proprietors to appear before a screening committee for fresh assessment before they can resume operations.
The action comes after the closure of Al-Hadeed Private School in the Inusawa area of Ungogo, where a teacher—popularly known as Uncle Kamal—was accused of abusing four underage pupils reportedly from the same family.
However, the suspect has been made to appear before a magistrate court in the Nomansland area of Kano on rape charges.
The court remanded the suspect and adjourned the case to June 9, 2026.
