Kano State Police Command has detained the suspended Chairman of Kano Anti-Corruption Commission, Muhuyi Rimin-Gado
His detention came few hours after the House of Assembly ordered the state government to sack, arrest and prosecute him due to several petitions against him.At yesterday’s plenary, presided over by the Speaker, Hamisu Chidari, the lawmakers ordered his immediate sack and prosecution.
He said the recommendations include the immediate sack of the suspended chairman, his arrest and prosecution, and setting up an ad hoc committee to investigate the financial activities of the Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission from the year 2015 to date.Speaking to journalists after the sitting, the Majority Leader of the House, Labaran Madari, said the joint committee set up by the House to investigate Rimin-Gado found out that the medical report his lawyer submitted was fake.
“We also called on the accountant earlier rejected by Muhyi to assume duty as the new accountant in the commission,” he said.Although the ad hoc committee only presented its recommendations before the plenary yesterday, The Guardian gathered that Rimin-Gado had received the police invitation for questioning since Saturday.
