The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has said the dollar videos of former governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje damaged the umage of the state globally.
Recall that Ganduje was captured in 2018 by Jafaar Jafaar, an investigative journalist, who filmed the former governor collecting wads of dollars before rolling them into his white dress, “babanriga”.
Speaking on Wednesday at a one-day public dialogue on ‘Anti-Corruption Crusade in Kano’, Barr. Muhuyi Rimingado, the chairman of PCACC, said the authenticity of the videos had been confirmed.
He said since the release of the footages, people have been challenging the commission under him to prove the innocence or otherwise of the former governor in the matter.
“There are reports that the dollar videos are giving Kano a bad name in not only Nigeria, but across the globe. That is why I am so determined to investigate and ensure that the suspect is being probed to clear the air and reclaim Kano back to its good reputation.
“Anybody that knows can tell that I am passionate about what I am doing, which is to fight corruption. People are disturbing and pressurizing me to probe the dollar videos. We are on it already. Forensic analysis has confirmed to us that the videos were not doctored,” Rimingado said.
