Kano Assembly suspends anti-graft agency boss

Kano State House of Assembly, on Monday, imposed a one-month suspension on the embattled Chairman of Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, Barrister Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado, for rejecting an accountant deployed to the agency from the office of the State Accountant General.

Rimin Gado’s immediate suspension was sequel to a letter of complaint against him, forwarded to the House by the Office of the Accountant-General of the state.

The letter disclosed that the Chairman appointed a grade level 4 officer, as an Accountant of the Commission, which is at variance, with the state law.

There had been a plot to relieve the Chairman of the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, Muhuyi Rimingado.

The Majority leader of the House, Alhaji Labaran Madari, mandated the House to refer the issue to the House Committee on Anti-corruption for investigation and action.

The House directed the committee to report back within two weeks of commencing investigations.
