...More to the N100million naira bribe than meets the eye.


The bribe scandal rocking the Kano State House of Assembly has taken a new twist as emerging facts suggest the involvement of other parties in the melee; of note is ongoing desperate measures by the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, to finally “kill” the matter.
The news of the resignation of the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Kabiru Alhassan Rurum, last Monday, came to many as a surprise. The Speaker resigned amid allegations that he received N100 million from Aliko Dangote to subdue investigation into allegations of financial impropriety against the Emir.

Although Dangote has since debunked reports linking him to the bribe scandal, information reaching Vigil360 indicates that it was Emir Muhammad Sanusi II who actually released the huge sums of money used to bribe the Speaker instead. The embattled Emir, in a bid to scuttle the investigation, had enlisted the support of the Speaker, who he gave the sum of N100 million to share amongst members of the House.

The Speaker being a funny fellow quietly pocketed the money upon the insider knowledge that President Muhammadu Buhari had already intervened in the matter by prevailing on Governor Abdullahi Ganduje to give the Emir a respite. This saved the Emir and his throne from an embarrassment of eternal proportion.

According to one legislator who spoke to Vigil360 on condition of anonymity, the Speaker got into troubled waters when he thought the matter was over, and that the House members will never know the truth.

However, sources within the Kano Emirate Council believe that the Emir is not yet done in putting a final stop to the investigation. He has reportedly reached out to the Ag. Chairman of the EFCC to tie loose-ends from the outcome of the anti-graft agency’s investigation into the matter.

Our sources revealed that Magu has offered to cooperate with the Emir, and is willing to expunge facts of the investigation from EFCC records to ensure that Emir Sanusi, the “almighty crusader” is left permanently off the hook.

Meanwhile, the Kano Emirate is jittery as this drama continues to unfold. Already some interest groups within Kano and beyond have resolved to ensure that the EFCC does not cover this up again.

Hmmm. I don't see the involvement of Dangote here or what he's trying to cover?
