JUST IN: Kano anti-graft agency invites Ganduje for questioning over dollar videos

The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has summoned ex-Governor Abdullahi for interrogation over the controversial  dollar videos.

It could be recalled that in 2017, Daily Nigerian, an online newspaper, had released some videos of Governor Ganduje allegedly collecting kickbacks from contractors, amounting to $5m.

Also in the videos, the former governor could be seen collecting the dollars before rolling them into his white robe, “babanriga”

However the ex-governor had denied the allegation, saying the videos were doctored.

Recently he filed a suit at a federal high court seeking perpetual injunction against the EFCC from investigating him.

But speaking Wednesday at a one-day public dialogue on ‘Anti-Corruption Crusade in Kano’, Barr. Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, chairman of PCACC, said the authenticity of the videos had been confirmed.
