“Ganduje video” for public hearing as lawmakers seeks police protection

The seven-man committee in Kano assembly to investigate a video
clip alleging bribery against Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has opted
for a public hearing to gather evidence.

The governor is alleged to have taken $5m in kickbacks from a
contractor.

The allegation was contained in a video clip released by an
online newspaper Daily Nigeria.

During the committee’s visit to the state police commissioner
Rabi’u Yusuf, the committee chairman Baffa Danagundi said, “We have
decided to make our investigation open so that the general public
will be convinced about the findings of the committee.”

The police visit was to seek security during the committee’s
sitting for lawmakers and witnesses.

“We don’t want a situation where by a member of the committee or
witness will be humiliated or intimidated.”
