The Kano State Government has stated that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje’s wife, Prof. Hafsat Ganduje, was never arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This is to dismiss earlier reports that claims she was being questioned by the anti-graft agencies after she was allegedly arrested.
The Kano State government, in its reaction, described the report as mere rumours being peddled by mischief-makers.
According to a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, the state government expressed regret that the content of the unfounded story could not be attributed to any credible source such as the purported arresting agency, the EFCC.
He pointed out that unfortunately, the fake story is being peddled on social media platforms without confirmation from either the state government or the EFCC.
Malam Garba said the governor’s wife has not been arrested or detained and is presently discharging her responsibilities.
The commissioner called on the good people of the state to disregard the rumour, urging them to remain calm.
