The Federal High Court in Kano on Tuesday ruled that the Kano Public Compliant and Anti-Corruption Commission lacks the power to investigate the immediate past state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, over the dollar bribery video.

While delivering his judgment, the presiding judge, Justice Abdullahi Liman, saidthe offence is a federal offence that can be prosecuted by the Attorney General of the Federation and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Justice Liman, however, said the Kano anti-graft agency cannot investigate Ganduje.


Meanwhile, speaking with newsmen shortly after the judgment, the counsel for the anti-graft agency, Usman Fari, said they would challenge the judgment at the Court of Appeal.

If you expect tinupoo to fight corruption or even do anything that will benefit this country first, then your brain and that of a sheep no dey different.


Tinupoo is a disaster

Anyone who thinks the despicable Gandollar babanriga dollar bribe stuffing scandal will ever be prosecuted by the EFCC or ICPC under the Chicago drug baron is surely living on a long thing. Meanwhile this is a criminality that even the EFCC have confirmed to be true a long time ago.

All these shenanigans is what the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti called "Government Magic" Why are the people of the land of sophisticated politics keeping quiet over this issue as Gandollar was appointed APC chair by their own criminal son?

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has confirmed the authenticity of the video showing the Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje, allegedly receiving millions of dollars as bribe.

SATURDAY PUNCH gathered that forensic analysis of the video showing Ganduje receiving bribe from a contractor indicated that the video was not digitally cloned as claimed by some of his loyalists.

Sources said the EFCC which had one of the best forensic laboratories in the country, had subjected the viral video to various forensic analyses all of which affirmed that the governor indeed received the dollar bribe.

It was, however, gathered that the probe might have been stalled by political pressure on the commission to soft-pedal on the investigation in order not to jeopardise President Muhammadu Buhari’s electoral chances in Kano State.

A source said, “The commission has decided to hold the breaks on the investigation to avoid jeopardising the President’s electoral chances in Kano where he has his largest fan base and political supporters.

“The fact is that the case against Ganduje is as good as dead; If he wins re-election, which is likely, he can’t be prosecuted until 2023 after his tenure and his trial would also be determined by whoever wins in 2023. If the All Progressives Congress wins the presidential poll in 2023, they would continue protecting him. So, for now, the governor can’t be prosecuted until after 2023 and that is if the APC loses power at the centre.”

Another source noted that the President needed Kano votes to boost his chances of getting a second term in this month’s elections, adding that the EFCC would not want to rock the boat at this point in time.

He said, “You must have heard the President tacitly defending the governor when he wondered why Ganduje had to collect the money himself when he could have sent an aide to take the bribes on his behalf.

“When asked about the video by Nigerians at a forum, Buhari described Ganduje as a man of integrity, indicating that he approved of him and the governor has also been boasting that he will deliver five million votes for Buhari’s re-election.

“This is called quid pro quo; you protect me, I work for your re-election. The EFCC as an agency under the executive has to read in between the lines and tread cautiously.”

The acting EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade, could not be reached for reaction as calls to his phone rang out. He had yet to respond to a text message on the reported suspension of the Ganduje probe.

Ganduje stuffed dollars, yes but is it Natonal dollar or Kano state dollar? No president have such right interfering in state corrupt issue and that was why efcc was created in all states to handle issue like this.

Pls stop talking......

Why is the judiciary at the fore-front of entrenching corruption in this country,
