…By Dorcas Funmi for TDPel Media. The Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) of Kano State has taken action by summoning the former governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, in response to a series of controversial videos that were released in 2017.
These videos, initially published by online news outlet Daily Nigerian, allegedly depicted Abdullahi accepting kickbacks from contractors.

Invitation for Questioning and Legal Process:
Based on the findings of the forensic examination, Chairman Rimingado disclosed during an interview with Channels TV that Abdullahi has been formally invited for questioning regarding the controversial videos.
The PCACC has adhered to legal procedures and issued a letter summoning the ex-governor to appear before the commission the following week.
This step reflects the commission’s commitment to a fair and thorough investigation process, affording Abdullahi the chance to provide his side of the story and defend himself against the allegations.
Conclusion:
The summoning of the former governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission marks a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the release of controversial videos.
The confirmation of the videos’ authenticity through a forensic examination has raised serious concerns regarding Abdullahi’s alleged acceptance of kickbacks from contractors.
