Dollar video: Court stops Kano anti-corruption agency from inviting Ganduje

A Federal High Court sitting in Kano on Friday, restrained the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) from summoning Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the immediate past governor of the state, over the alleged dollar bribery videos.

The Informant247 had earlier reported that the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) on Thursday, summoned the immediate past governor of the state, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, over video clips of him allegedly receiving bribes.

Kabir Abba Kabir, PCACC spokesperson, in a statement released on Thursday, quoted Magaji Rimingado, the agency’s chair, as saying that Ganduje is expected to appear before the commission next week.
