Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested a former commissioner of works and infrastructure, Idris Saleh, over an alleged N1 billion fraud.

The spokesperson for the anti-corruption commission, Kabir Abba, confirmed the arrest to reporters in Kano. He said those found wanting would be charged to court. ”The Public Procurement Bureau even issued a certificate of no objection for the contract after the payment was made ten days earlier, contrary to the Kano State Procurement Act 2021.‘’The due process office said the certificate of no objection was issued because Kano Road Maintenance Agency said the rehabilitation of the roads would be carried out through direct labour, but the papers submitted read otherwise,” one of the sources said.

Mr Yusuf of the New Nigerian Peoples Party said he is bent on reversing what he claims were illegal decisions and policies of the Ganduje administration.The NNPP government has also revoked some certificates of occupancy and demolished several properties sold by the Mr Ganduje administration.
