A Federal High Court sitting in Kano State has restrained the State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission from investigating immediate past governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, over alleged misappropriation of N100 billion from the state’s local government accounts.
While delivering the ruling on Tuesday, the presiding judge, Justice S.A. Amobeda, also stopped the commission from inviting, investigating, arresting, and intimidating local government chairpersons pending the determination of the applicants’ motion on notice.
The restraining order was consequent upon an ex-parte application filed by counsel to the applicants, Morgan C. Omereonye, which sought a perpetual order stopping the commission from further investigation into the missing funds.
