The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission’s investigation into corruption allegations against All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje faces a potential setback. The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, is accused of withdrawing about 40 police officers who were providing security and investigative support to the commission.

Source Raises Concerns

A source within the anti-corruption agency anonymously expressed concerns about the vulnerability of the commission due to the withdrawn security personnel. The source further questioned the rationale behind increased security for Ganduje while simultaneously withdrawing support from the investigating body.

Investigation and Political Tensions

The Kano State government initiated the probe into corruption allegations against Ganduje. This investigation has created tensions, with Ganduje recently accusing the state government of orchestrating his brief suspension from the APC, which was later reversed.

Police Response Needed

Efforts to reach Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Police spokesperson, for comment on these accusations were unsuccessful.

Previous Actions and APC Response

This development follows the reported withdrawal of security personnel from around former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello. In a related turn of events, Legit.ng previously reported that the APC in Kano sanctioned ward leaders who initiated Ganduje’s suspension.
