Dollar Video: Kano Govt Withdraws Suit Stopping Ganduje’s Investigation

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf-led government of Kano State has withdrawn its suit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), seeking to stop it from further inviting, investigating, or interrogating the immediate past Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje.

Naija News understands that the government had asked the anti-graft agency to handle case NO: FHC/ KN/71/2023 between the Attorney General of Kano State and EFCC.

However, a notice of withdrawal of the suit has been submitted before Federal High Court Kano.

The latest written notification signed by the Kano Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Isa Dederi, dated 4th July 2023, and addressed to Sanusi Musa (SAN), reads: ”We write to notify you that Kano State Government and the Attorney General of Kano State wish to debrief you of the earlier instructions, given to you to handle the case NO: FHC/ KN/71/2023 between Attorney General of Kano State and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“You and your team members are therefore instructed not to take any further steps on the matter, either by appearing in court or filing any processes in respect of the case”, the Kano Attorney General concluded.

It could be recalled that the Kano state government under the former governor, through the Ministry of Justice, had issued a fiat instrument to restrain EFCC from investigating the controversial dollar video.
