Kano’s probe into Ganduje’s administration begins
The Judicial Commission of Inquiry on Public Properties and Assets, instituted by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State, is set to commence its investigative proceedings targeting the previous administration helmed by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The commission’s inaugural sitting is scheduled for Monday, April 29, 2024.
Salisu Mustapha, the commission’s secretary, officially announced the commencement date in a letter dispatched to the Director General, Media and Publicity, Kano Government House, on Saturday.
The session is slated to convene at High Court No. 3 within the Audu Bako State Secretariat, commencing promptly at 10 am.
Earlier this month, Governor Yusuf inaugurated two judicial commissions of inquiry (JCIs) to delve into the alleged misappropriation of public properties and assets, alongside instances of political violence and the cases of missing persons recorded between 2015 and 2023.
During the inauguration ceremony, Governor Yusuf reiterated his commitment to holding accountable those found culpable, particularly emphasizing the need to uncover and prosecute individuals responsible for political violence during previous elections.

In his directive to the commission members, Governor Yusuf emphasized the importance of upholding integrity, staying true to their oath, and serving the people of Kano State by ensuring that justice prevails.
Governor Yusuf clarified that the establishment of the commission was not driven by political motives but rather a response to the collective desire of the people of Kano State for transparency and accountability in governance.
Notably, Justices of the State High Courts, Farouq Adamu and Zuwaira Yusuf, along with other eminent individuals, were carefully selected and appointed as chairmen and members of the respective commissions of inquiry.
