Former Kano state
health commissioner Abubakar Yusuf and a former permanent secretary Umar
Ibrahim face arraignment over allegations of involvement in a $650,000 scholarship
scam.
The Kano State Public Complaints and
Anti-Corruption Commission said both men have cases to answer in court.
The commission’s chairman Muhuyi Rimingado
said its attention was drawn after negative comments on social media indicating
Yusuf had been exonerated and the commission’s seizure of his private hospital
declared illegal.
He said that while the commission was
investigating the two people, they filed two separate cases before a federal
and state high court in their efforts to scuttle the investigation.
“And, what is before the courts is a mere
fundamental enforcement process and an exparte order was issued to maintain the
status quo. It was based on this reason that the commission relied on certain
laws and recommended that Kano state government should suspend payments to this
these people pending the completion of its investigation.”
The commission is working with Interpol on its
investigations, which have been extended as far as Egypt.
The chairman assured that with available
evidences at the commission’s disposal, the two people involved in the matter
would not run from justice.
