Kano Anti-Corruption Commission Chair In Trouble Over Fake Medical Report
By Inda Ahmad
The National Hospital, Abuja has written to the Kano State House of Assembly confirming that the medical records, Barrister Muhuyi Magaji Rimi Gado, the embattled chairman, Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, PCACC, purportedly presented to the House were fake.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Gado fell into trouble with the legislature following allegations that he had determined to probe contracts reportedly awarded to some relatives of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
He ran into problems when he rejected moves by the State’s Accountant General to redeploy an accountant in his office who reportedly is related to him.
In the midst of the controversy he was suspended by the State House of Assembly and summoned to appear before it, a decision that prompted the production of the now contentious medical certificate.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the Kano Anti-Corruption czar had on Wednesday July 14, 2021 while explaining his inability to appear before the Kano House of Assembly ad-hoc committee investigating a petition against him through his lawyer, Umar Fari tendered the contentious medical records.
Muhuyi Magaji RimiGado’s record which found it’s way to the social media generated controversy with many medical practitioners picking holes in the documents and questioning their authenticity.
Sources familiar with the matter told GreenWhiteGreen GWG that the unsavoury reaction by professionals may have compelled the House to write to the National Hospital on the matter.
In its reply dated July 19, 2021 with reference number NHA/CMAC/GC/0117/2021/V.I/01 and signed by the director, Clinical Services, Dr. A.A. Umar, the National Hospital said it profiled the documents and discovered that they were forged.
The letter obtained by GreenWhiteGreen GWG addressed to the Kano State House of Assembly read in part:
“Following your request on the above, and the subsequent investigations, we wish to state the following findings:
“1. There is no patient named Muhuyi Magaji in our hospital record and no folder was opened in that name.
“2. That by our records, the name and signature of doctor (Dr. Bayo) on the Medical Report do not belong to any staff of the National Hospital Abuja.
“3. Laboratory investigations in the National Hospital are no longer manually written on paper but electronically transmitted.
“In the light of the above, Sir, the Medical Report/documents, which you attached its photocopies are NOT authentic,” the hospital said of the medical report by the Kano anti-corruption commission chairman.
