In a surprising turn of events, the reinstated Chairman of the Kano State Anti-Corruption Commission, Barrister Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado, has made a bold promise to reopen the alleged dollar fraud case against former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. This announcement follows the release of incriminating videos by online publication, Daily Nigerian, which purportedly showed Ganduje collecting kickbacks from contractors totaling a staggering $5 million.
Ganduje vehemently denied these allegations, claiming that the videos were doctored. He even took legal action, suing for damages and requesting the Federal High Court to issue an injunction preventing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from further investigating the matter.
However, despite these legal maneuvers by Ganduje, Rimin Gado remains adamant that a thorough investigation is essential. He believes that the allegations need to be examined extensively in order to uncover the truth surrounding this scandal.
It is worth noting that Rimin-Gado, who was removed from his position by Ganduje due to his attempts at investigating the state’s former first family for alleged financial misappropriation, has now been reinstated by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. This move comes as a surprise to many, as it indicates a potential shift in the political landscape of Kano State.
The case against Ganduje has attracted widespread attention and raised concerns about the prevalence of corruption within Nigeria’s political system. The alleged acceptance of kickbacks by a high-ranking public official is not only illegal but also a betrayal of the trust bestowed upon them by the Nigerian people.
Rimin Gado’s determination to reopen the investigation is a step in the right direction towards holding corrupt politicians accountable for their actions. It sends a clear message to those in power that their illicit activities will not go unchecked, regardless of their attempts to obstruct justice or manipulate the legal system.
As the door opens for a fresh investigation into the Ganduje dollar fraud case, Nigerians hope that justice will prevail and that the truth will be unveiled, restoring faith in the fight against corruption in the country.
