Three top officials of the Kano Emirate Council have appeared
before the state Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission with
documents in connection with ongoing investigation of an alleged misapplication
of N6 billion.
The Chairman of the commission, Mr Muhuyi Magaji, confirmed this
to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Kano.
Magaji, who declined to disclose the names of the affected
personnel and description of the documents, however said the officials were
scheduled to feature on May 3, with all relevant documents concerning the
probe.
He explained that the officials demonstrated high degree of
cooperation as they fielded questions and submitted documents detailing the
council approvals and expenditure.
According to him, cases of land racketeering, revenue
collection, shop allocation, examination and other shady financial and civil
service malfeasance were being handled by the commission.
The chairman assured the public of fairness and justice as well
as diligent investigation and prosecution of alleged corrupt cases brought
before the anti-graft agency.
Magaji described corruption as a major factor militating against
national development and prosperity.
He, therefore, called for understanding, support and cooperation
of all to end the cancer eroding our national values and aspiration.
