Head of the Kano State Public
Complaint and Anti-Corruption Commission, Magaji Ramindado, has explained why
the agency has not opened probe on Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
Last October, three videos were
published by Daily Nigerian showing Ganduje receiving wads of dollars.
Speaking on Tuesday at the
opening of a two-day meeting on anti-corruption, Ramindado said the commission
failed to act because it did not know the motive of the video.
The meeting on “Enhancing
Citizens’ Effective Participation in the Fight Against Corruption,” was
organised by ActionAid Nigeria.
“On the issue of dollar bribery
scandal and the accusation that we have not probed the governor, people have
forgotten that governors enjoy immunity,” he said.
“And apart from this, how could
you undertake sting operation without involving us, yet you want us to be part
of the probe? We can’t, because we don’t know your motive, we don’t know
whether it is true or not.
“For you to have gone to the
extent of releasing the video, you could have got anti-graft agencies involved.
It doesn’t mean it should necessarily be our own agency. But EFCC and ICPC are
there and they could back the claim.
“We have investigated judiciary
institutions, we have investigated the traditional institutions. I enter
government house and I make arrest. We don’t care whether people will say we
are part of the government or not”.
