A Federal High Court sitting in Kano has dismissed a bribery suit against Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for lack of evidence.
The suit was filed by a Kano based lawyer, Bulama Bukarti. He was seeking an order of the court to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate Governor Abdullahii Umar Ganduje for allegedly receiving kickback from a contractor.
Bulama had approached the court to seek for an order compelling the EFCC to provide the report of its forensic investigation and analysis of a video showing Ganduje as receiving kickback from an unknown contractor.
Justice Egwuatu dismissed the case on the grounds that the evidence before the court had not shown that the EFCC had the record of the forensic analysis of the bribery video.
He also stated that the report should have been given to the Kano State House of Assembly’s ad-hoc committee set up to investigate the matter.
