Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi, Alleged N3.4bn fraud: Kano anti-graft agency recommends Sanusi’s suspension

It also recommended that further legal action should be taken against all the suspects as soon as the final outcome of the investigations were concluded and legal advice issued.

As of the time of filing this report, the council had yet to react to the allegations of misappropriation of funds levelled against it by the commission. 

But a Kano lawyer and activist, Abdulsalam Yusuf, said,  “What happened was that some interested people petitioned  the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, alleging misappropriation of funds to the tune of N2.4bn at the Kano Emirate Council

However, a Kano civil rights activist, Mr Ibrahim Maryam, contended that the said money was the actual money inherited by Sanusi.

Maryam said the commission should first investigate how much the late Emir Ado Bayero left behind and how much was paid as his royalties, including additional salary increment for emirate staff.
