The Kano Anti Corruption and
Public Commission has insisted that its Investigation into alleged financial
misappropriation by the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, would continue
despite reports of reconciliation moves between Governor Ganduje and the
monarch.
The commission’s chairman,
Barrister Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado told newsmen Monday that the three
fundamental issues raised by the commission include obstruction of its
investigation which necessitated its reports to the government.
The Chairman expressed worry that
after the issuance of query the Emir by the Government, many things happened
which necessitated the stating of its position as an independent entity.
He said, “Our position that the
investigation was not commenced at the instance of the government but as a
result of series of complaints by Kano Citizens, and that by virtue of section
8 of the State Public Complaints and anti Corruption law 2008 as amended the
Commission shall not be subjected to the direction and control of any
authority, that the Commission is not under the control or discretion of any
authority or person.
“That our preliminary reports is
only for the government to act administratively so that the Commission can
continue to exercise its responsibilities without any interference and nothing
more.
“That as far as the Commission is
concerned this investigation is ongoing and the Commission will do everything
legally possible to deliver its mandate with respect to the case,” Gado clarified.
The Commission hopes that with
what is happening, Nigeria’s anti-corruption crusade would be allowed to
flourish regardless of who is involved.
