The Kano Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission
(PCACC) says forensic analysis has confirmed the authenticity of the bribery
video of Abdullahi Ganduje, former governor of the state.
Speaking with TheCable on Thursday, Muhuyi Magaji, chairman
of the commission, said the video was not a voice-over.
In October 2018, Daily Nigerian, an online newspaper,
published a video of Ganduje allegedly receiving bundles of dollars from
contractors which he stuffed into his ‘babanriga’, a traditional outfit.
The newspaper said the former governor requested the sum of
$5 million as bribe, from the contractors who recorded the video.
However, Ganduje had immediately insisted that the video was
doctored.
The former governor had in June, asked a high court in Kano
to stop the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from investigating
the bribery video.
Magaji said the commission is committed to investigating all
corruption matters, including the dollar video that featured Ganduje.
“Yes, I said it live.
Not only forensic analysis that confirmed it, we have strong headlines that
suggest that but as I said, the forensic analysis told us that it was not
doctored and also not a voice-over. So we built on that,” he said.
On July 4, the anti-corruption
commission arrested Idris Saleh, former commissioner for works and infrastructure
in Ganduje’s administration, alongside five others, over an alleged N1 billion
fraud.
