Kano Lawmakers Want Anti-Corruption Chair Sacked

The Kano State House of Assembly on Monday recommended the sack of Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado as the chairman of the state anti-corruption agency.

The recommendation to sack the suspended chairman of the anti-graft agency forwarded to Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje was taken at a sitting of the House of Assembly which took place under tight security.

The resolution of the 40-man House of Assembly was despite a subsisting court order restraining the state legislative house from investigating the embattled Chairman of the Anti- corruption Agency.

The Kano High Court presided over by Justice Sanusi Ado Ma’aji had last week restrained the state assembly from taking any further action in the ongoing house investigation on the plaintiff, Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado.

The court directed that the assembly and the other defendants in the suit be served through the state Attorney General who is also a defendant in the case.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Rimingado and the House of Assembly had been in a contest of wills following allegations of his determination to investigate some contracts supposedly awarded to some close family associates of the governor.

The embattled anti-graft boss, however, fell into confrontation with the House of Assembly when he refused an order transferring the accountant in his office on the orders of the state’s accountant-general. The accountant is said to be his relative.

The Kano House of Assembly had upon the face off with the Accountant-General set up a committee to probe the office of the anti-corruption commission.

Rimingado, however, claimed illness and produced a medical report from the National Hospital, Abuja to prove that he was indisposed.

The National Hospital, however, denied the medical report as a forgery, saying that the doctor who signed it is not its staff just as it also said that Rimingado was not its patient.
