The governor of Kano State Abba Yusuf says documents pertaining to corruption accusations against Abdullahi Ganduje, the previous governor of Kano State, were taken by criminals from the state high court.
Yusuf made this revelation following an on-the-spot assessment visit to the court, which was vandalized by thugs amid the most recent statewide anti-hunger demonstrations.
The governor’s spokesperson Sanusi Dawakin Tofa made this announcement on Wednesday.
According to the statement, the vandalism was part of a sponsored mission.
“The hired miscreants carted away corruption charges documents on former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje who has been facing multiple charges before the state High Court.”
“It is very unfortunate that enemies of Kano State hired undesirable elements to vandalize one of the historic public buildings with a mission of averting corruption charges against the Ag. National Chairman of APC and former governor of the state Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, his family, and aides,” the statement read.
The statement added that the miscreants destroyed virtually all units of the court including the office of the state Chief Judge.
The governor called on youths in the state to desist from being used by detractors to engage in violence, rather they should concentrate on skills acquisition for a better future emphasizing that the government will not relent in securing the lives and property of the people of Kano State.
He directed the immediate rehabilitation of the building and the deployment of adequate security for effective justice delivery.
