Kano anti-corruption body to continue case against former Emir Sanusi – Chairman, PCACC
Chairman of the commission, Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado told our Correspondent Tuesday that PCACC only temporarily halted its investigation out of obedience to a Federal High Court Order which granted an interim injunction pending the determination of the originating motion.
“We were not investigating him because he was an emir. No. So, our job would not be affected because he is no longer an emir. It is very important that people understand this fact. A court has asked us to stop temporarily, and as soon as the court order elapses, we will resume. We have summoned other individuals involved in the alleged land deal, and they have been responding. We will recall the former emir too when the injunction is lifted,” Muhyi said.
PCACC had asked the former emir, prior to his dethronement, to appear before it on Thursday to explain his role in an alleged N2.2 billion land transaction scam. But the emir sought and obtained an interim injunction against the commission. He wrote the commission to say he needed to have access to some documents including the petition that sparked the investigation in the first place.
The commission rejected his request for documents, saying they form part of its investigative tools and any document required by the former emir would be given to him at the end of its probe.
