NewsNigeriaPoliticsChairman Kano Anti-Graft Agency Suspended

The Chairman of the Kano State Anti-Corruption and Public Complaints Commission, Muhuyi Magaji, has been suspended.

He was suspended by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) based on a 10-count corruption accusation against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

Veronica Kato, the CCB’s Chief Press Secretary, in a statement in Abuja, says the suspension became necessary to avoid interfering with the ongoing trial against him.

In his ruling, the Chairman CCT, Justice Danladi Umar, established that the Tribunal has the competence and jurisdiction to hear the case.

“Muhuyi Magaji cannot continue to discharge the duties and responsibilities of his office while facing trial, to avoid any interference with the case,” Kato said.

The case against Magaji has been adjourned to May 7th and 8th, 2024, for further hearings.
