The Chairman of Kiru Local Government Area of Kano State, Abdullahi Mohammed has been arrested by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission for allegedly selling a land originally designated for the Kafin Maiyaki Mini Stadium.
A company called Mahasum was said to have purchased the plots meant for the stadium for over N100 million, with payments deposited directly into the local government chairman’s personal account.
The commission’s Public Relations Officer, Kabir Abba Kabir who confirmed the arrest, revealed that Mohammed’s account received a total of N240 million between November 1, 2024, when he was sworn into office and February 27, 2025, adding that the commission has since recovered the funds.
“Mohammed is cooperating with investigators as authorities work to unravel the details of the fraudulent land sale and hold those responsible accountable.
“The commission reaffirmed its commitment to combating corruption and ensuring transparency in governance,” he said.
