A High Court hearing in Kano State on Tuesday issued an interim order Prohibiting the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, and others anti-graft agencies from questioning the Chairman, Kano Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission, Muhuyi Rimin-Gado.
Rimin-Gado obtained a court order prohibiting further meddling in the operations of the state anti-graft agency, with the exception of a last-minute appearance before the federal anti-graft agencies.
Prior to the interview, Rimin-Gado and a director of accounts in the state agency were invited by the EFCC and the Code of Conduct Bureau.
The EFCC requested information about the Kano anti-graft chief’s spending between 2019 and 2021 in a letter signed by Muhtar S. Bello, Deputy Director, Cybercrime and Other Related Offenses.
The Kano anti-graft boss was also instructed to provide a record of all contractual projects and forfeiture activities carried out by the agency in a similar letter from the Director Intelligence, Investigation and Monitoring, Code of Conduct Bureau, Gwimi SdotP.
Rimin-Gado and the Account Director were required to appear before the EFCC and CCB Abuja office today, August 29, 2023, according to the letter that was signed and sent to them.
However, a ruling by Justice Farouk Lawan Adamu on Monday evening barred the EFCC, ICPC, and CCB from “inviting, threatening, coaxing, cajoling, arresting, or in any way or manner interfering, meddling, or interloping in the affairs of any staff or person” in the Kano anti-graft agency while the originating motion was heard and decided.
The Kano State Attorney General, the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, and Rimingado are the plaintiffs in the lawsuit and are contesting the respondents’ rights to interfere with the affairs and activities of the state agency.
On September 25, 2023, the case will now be heard after an adjournment by the court.
