Why Kano anti-corruption agency suspended probe of Sanusi

Following the investigation launched by the Kano State House of Assembly on Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, the state government’s anti-corruption agency has announced the suspension of its own probe into the financial dealings of the Emirate Council.

The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission had earlier announced it was investigating alleged misuse of N6billion by the palace.

The commission however decided to indefinitely suspend the probe after the State House of Assembly launched a separate investigation of Emir Sanusi II, also on allegations of funds misappropriation.

Other allegation for which the Assembly is probing Sanusi 11 are “defamation of character, breach of oath of office/oath of allegiance, abuse of office privileges and protocol, and political and religious interference”.

The decision of the state anti-corruption agency to drop its probe was announced by the chairman the body, Muhyi Gado, “the commission was suspending its probe indefinitely,” he had announced.

He further explained that the commission could not continue as the House was also conducting an investigation.
