A Federal High Court has okayed the investigation of deposed Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II over an alleged N2.2 billion land scam.
Justice Lewis Allagoa on Tuesday dismissed the fundamental human right suit filed by the former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor against Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, its chairman as well as the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice.
He asked the court to restrict the four defendants from investigating him on the alleged land racketeering, arguing the planned investigation was against his fundamental human right.But the judge held that the anti-graft commission and its chairman had the jurisdiction and powers to probe Sanusi on the matter.
The anti-graft agency had invested on the embattled Sanusi a Right of Occupancy CON-RES-2016-503, which was reportedly sold illegally by the Kano emirate council to Family Home Fund Limited at the instance of Sanusi as the Emir.
