The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has
sealed off a property belonging to Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano.
The property is situated on Miller road in Kano metropolis.
Kwankwaso, a two-term governor of Kano, represented Kano
central senatorial district between 2015 and 2019.
The decision of the EFCC to seal off the property is said to
be the result of a petition sent to the anti-graft agency by some family
members of Ismaila Gwarzo, a former national security adviser during the late
Sani Abacha administration.
Reliable sources said Abdullahi Gwarzo, popularly known as
Baban Gandu, former managing director of the defunct Refuse Management and
Sanitation Board (REMASAB) in Kano, allegedly sold the property to Kwankwaso
but failed to remit the money to the family.
The state had, earlier in the year, announced the scrapping
of REMASAB and said a private company would be engaged by the government for
refuse management.
Several houses belonging to the former REMASAB MD, located
at Gwarzo town, Danbare, Bompai, among others, have also been sealed off by the
anti-graft agency.
Nine bank accounts belonging to Gwarzo are also said to have
been frozen.
A source at the EFCC confirmed that the anti-graft agency is
also investigating a petition filed against the former REMASAB MD, but it isn’t
yet clear what the allegations against Gwarzo are.
