The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, PCACC, has summon former governor of the state, Abdullahi Ganduje, over the controversial viral dollar video to appear before it within seven days.
This is after the state government also withdrew from court the suit which Ganduje took to court, while still in office, to challenge his investigation over the allegation.
Chairman of the commission, Muhyi Rimingado, who disclosed this to newsmen in Kano on Thursday, explained that an invitation letter had since been extended to the former governor to provide answers to questions on the alleged corruption allegations against him.
He said the commission had jurisdiction to investigate corruption cases on people across all walks of life.
“We have a forensic arrangement with experts to analyse the video and would do everything possible to investigate the matter and any other issue regarding corruption in Kano.
“Following up on our pledge to follow due process as usual in the investigation of the alleged bribery videos (also known as dollar videos) involving the former governor of Kano state, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
“The commission is expecting the former governor to appear before it next week to have the opportunity to clear his name in the ongoing investigation.
“I have signed a letter to invite him for questioning at the commission next week because this is what the law says and we will provide ample opportunity for him to defend himself. said Muhyi.
“There is what the law provides, the law is coercive in nature, it compels obedience. The law doesn’t lobby you to come and do certain things.
“There are procedures and we will follow all the necessary steps to do what is needful,” Rimingado stated.
He said also that forensic examination experts had confirmed to him that the viral video which depicted Ganduje allegedly receiving graft from contractors was not doctored.
