Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, says suspected hoodlums took
away documents of alleged corruption cases against Abdullahi Ganduje, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during the #EndBadGovernance
protest.
Public buildings, including a court in Kano, were broken
into during the protest, which was characterised by looting and destruction in
some parts of the country.
Ganduje, a former governor of Kano, has graft allegations
levelled against him, members of his family, and associates.
While assessing the damage done to the court on Wednesday, Yusuf described those who took away the court documents as “enemies” of Kano.
“It is very
unfortunate that enemies of Kano state hired undesirable elements to vandalize
one of the historic public buildings with a mission of averting corruption charges
against the national chairman of APC and former governor of the state, Dr.
Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, his family, and his aides,” Sunusi Tofa, spokesperson
to the governor, quoted him as saying.
Yusuf put the loss from the destruction at N1 billion, adding
that the office of the chief judge was ransacked by the hoodlums.
The governor said his administration would continue to
protect the lives and properties of residents in Kano.
He added that the youths should not allow themselves to be
used by “detractors” for violence.
