Legit.ng gathers in a letter dated September 8, that the Kano state anti-graft agency said it was investigating “the management of pieces of land that were reserved as ‘GANDUN SARKI’ spread in many parts of the state” under the stewardship of the former emir. The letter read:
“Investigation revealed that all transactions for the sale of the landed properties belonging to the Emirate were done corruptly by the trio of Shehu Muhammad Dankadai (Sarkin Shanu), Sarki Abdullahi Ibrahim (Makaman Kano) and Mustapha Kawu Yahaya (Dan Isan Lapai) purportedly on behalf of Ado Bayero Royal City Trust Fund and allegedly on your instructions.”

Earlier, Legit.ng previously reported that the Kano state anti-corruption agency was challenged by Governor Abdullah Umar Ganduje to investigate and prosecute anyone found culpable of corrupt practice, including members of his cabinet.
The Kano state governor disclosed this on Sunday, August 16, while inspecting construction work at the commission’s headquarters.
Ganduje who gave the commission the greenlight insisted that “no comprise should override any priority” in order to purge Kano of corruption.
In another related development, Kano state government has now beamed its searchlight on some of the projects initiated and abandoned by the administration of former governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
In doing this, Ganduje's administration has set up a committee to assess all the abandoned 5km road projects awarded by Kwankwaso.
The projects, according to Leadership, cover the 44 local government areas in the state.
