Auta was arrested on Tuesday 14th November, 2017 when he was invited for interrogation on allegations that he conspired with some other persons to defraud a Kano businessman, Alhaji Bashir Sani Kwangila Yakasai (SKY).
Before Auta’s arrest, Alhaji Yakasai had reported him to the National Judicial Commission, which constituted a committee to investigate the matter.
It was alleged that the embattled ex-judge and his accomplice, one Bashir Sufi, on the pretext that they were acting on behalf of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Aloma Mukhtar defrauded the businessman.
