Kano State PCAC Chairman Suspended Over Misconduct Allegations

The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has suspended Muhyi Magaji Rimingado, Chairman of Kano State Public Complaint and Anti-corruption Commission (PCAC), over alleged misconduct and violations of public officer conduct.

Rimingado appeared in Abuja on Thursday, facing charges including conflict of interest, false asset declaration, and accepting bribes. The Tribunal approved a motion for his suspension, instructing him to vacate his position until the case is resolved.

Insiders indicate intentions to challenge the verdict, citing an existing court order that bars Rimingado’s arraignment and the investigative procedures of bodies such as the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the EFCC.

It could be recalled that the Kano State government had dragged the Federal Government before the State High Court over what it described as harassment and intimidation of the PCACC chairman by three federal agencies.

This was sequel to an invitation sent to the PCACC and its officials by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and Code of Conduct Bureau, respectively, to answer questions over the state’s commission’s administration from 2011 to date.

In an ex parte order, Justice Farouk Adamu’s court instructed federal agencies and their representatives to cease questioning or investigating PCACC officials.
