The Kano State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission says it has filed fresh charges of corruption and maladministration against an ex-governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje.
The Chairman of the anti-graft commission, Muhuyi Magaji, said on a Television programme that what is happening now is a tip of the iceberg
Magaji alleged that the Ganduje government took N1bn from the state coffers a month to the expiration of the administration’s tenure in May 2023 but the money was sent to Bureau de Change operators and not used for road renovation as earmarked.
The Kano anti-graft chairman, who said he was being viewed as a “stubborn person” in some quarters, insisted that the court ruled that money laundering was a federal offence but the commission has the right to probe alleged corruption and maladministration by the Ganduje administration.
Magaji said though he was appointed by Ganduje to head the agency, he won’t hesitate to prosecute alleged corruption by the immediate-past administration in the state.
Magaji said he started investigating the administration of Ganduje when he was Kano governor.
He said there should be no sacred cows in the anti-corruption fight in the state.
Meanwhile, the Kano High Court would arraign Ganduje tomorrow on charges bordering on allegations of bribery, diversion, and misappropriation of funds, including the purported acceptance of $413,000 and one point three –eight billion naira in bribes.
