Dollar video: Kano drops suit seeking to stop EFCC from probing GovUmarGanduje | TheCable
The Kano government has indicated its intention to withdraw a suit seeking to stop the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from probing Abdullahi Ganduje, former governor of the state, over bribery allegations.
In 2018, Daily Nigerian, an online newspaper, published videos of Ganduje allegedly receiving bundles of dollars from contractors which he stuffed into his “babanriga”, a traditional outfit. The newspaper said the former governor requested $5 million as a bribe, from the contractors who recorded the video.
While the governor debunked the content of the videos, the Kano house of assembly subsequently set up a committee to investigate the allegations.that the former attorney general of Kano had filed a suit to restrain the EFCC from investigating the former governor until a suit between Ganduje and Jafaar Jafaar, publisher of the Daily Nigerian, is determined.
“You and your team members are therefore instructed not to take any further steps on the matter, either by appearing in court or filing any processes in respect of the case.”
