The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has claimed that forensic analysis has confirmed that the dollar videos of ex-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje were not doctored.
Recall that in 2017 an online publication released some videos of Ganduje allegedly collecting kickbacks from contractors.
Speaking at ‘A One Day Public Dialogue on Anti-Corruption Crusade in Kano’, on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, the Chairman of the agency, Barrister Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, confirmed the authenticity of the videos.
According to Rimingido, since the release of the footage, people have been challenging him to prove the innocence or otherwise of the former governor in the matter.
PCACC boss added that his commission commenced an investigation in 2018 but could not go far because Ganduje, who was governor at the time, had immunity.
