Kano anti-graft agency issues strong warning to traders as Ganduje relaxes COVID-19 lockdown
The commission also directed traders involved in unilateral hike in prices of food items to sale them at regulated prices or risk forfeiture.
He noted that hoarding and unnecessary hike in prices of food items was capable of undermining government efforts to stem the pandemic and breach security of the state. “Consequently and in accordance with Section 39 of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti Corruption Law 2008 , this commission secured a search warrant before one of the mobile courts established for the purpose of the current situation with a view of accessing the exhibits suggesting the hoarding and artificial inflation.”
The chairman urged traders to shun unpatriotic and callous acts, warning that stores and ware houses found to be stocked with such items will be forfeited to the state government. The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that the governor had earlier expressed concern that dealers and traders of food and essential items in the state are selling the commodities at above 100 per cent hike.
