Kano Governor Drags Ganduje, Wife, Son, Others To Court Over Dollar Video, Kickbacks

A Kano state high court has fixed April 17 to arraign Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), over criminal charges.

In a court summon issued on Monday, the former governor of Kano is to be arraigned alongside his wife and son.

The other defendants in the case are Abubakar Bawuro, Jibrilla Muhammad, Lamash Properties Limited, Safari Textiles Limited, and Lesaga General Enterprises.

In a charge sheet seen by TheCable, the state government said the offence contravened Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Commission Commission Law 2008.

In 2018, Daily Nigerian, an online newspaper, published a video of Ganduje allegedly receiving bundles of dollars from contractors, which he stuffed into his “babanriga”, a traditional outfit.

The APC national chairman was the governor of Kano from 2015 to 2023.
