Kano Alleges Ganduje Diverted N1b Monthly To BDC, Files More Charges

The legal problems of the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC Dr Abdullahi Ganduje have been stepped up with the decision of the Kano State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission to file more charges against him including the alleged diversion of state funds to Bureau De Change, BDC operators.

The chairman of the Kano State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission, Muhuyi Magaji who spoke in an interview on Channels Television said the commission had uncovered the diversion of N51.3 billion from local government funds to unauthorized individuals during Ganduje’s tenure.

Magaji alleged that the Ganduje administration withdrew N1 billion monthly from state coffers before its tenure ended in May 2023, purportedly for road renovation, but diverted ti BDC operators instead.

He also cited a case involving N4 billion transferred to an agricultural company from Kano’s consolidated revenue account.

“What is happening now is a tip of the iceberg. As I am talking to you, we are investigating a case whereby N51.3bn local government funds were directly taken from the government coffers (and) sent to other individuals, and we traced it to people.

“We have filed a series of cases. We have a case whereby N1bn in April last year (2023) was removed from government coffers under the allocation of renovating 30 roads in the metropolis, and it was taken away and sent to Bureau de Change.

“We have a case of N4bn whereby it was sent from the consolidated revenue account of Kano State to an agricultural company. All these cases are before the court,” he said.

The state government has said it will arraign Ganduje, alongside his wife and son, for money laundering, later this week.

GWG.ng reports that among the charges being brought against the former governor is the allegation of bribery with the popular dollar bribe video as one of the cases being brought against the former governor.
