We’ll reopen investigation into Ganduje’s dollar videos- Muhuyi vows

The reinstated chairman of the Kano State Public Complaint and Anti Corruption Commission, Barrister Muhuyi Magajin Rimin-Gado, has vowed to reopen the investigation against former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje on controversial dollar videos.

It would be recalled that an online publication, Daily Nigerian, had released some videos of Ganduje allegedly collecting kickbacks from contractors to the tune of $5m.

Although the ex-Governor had denied the allegation, saying the videos were doctored.

SOLACEBASE had reported that Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje filed a suit in March, 2023 and served EFCC on June 5th asking the federal high court to grant him perceptual injunction against the commission from probing him on the dollar videos.

However, speaking on Trust TV’s Daily Politics, Rimin-Gado, who was removed by Ganduje after moves to investigate the state former first family over alleged financial misappropriation, but was reinstated by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, in compliance to court order, said the probe was necessary.

Reminded of what he said on the dollar videos in a previous interview, Rimin-Gado said, “I mean every word I said when I was in office. We opened an investigation but there were certain limitations then because he was the incumbent governor.

“Every incumbent governor, deputy governor or president has immunity. Now that limit is no more. The commission will do what is necessary.”

He also defended some policies of the incumbent governor.
