The Kano State Government has leveled new fraud charges against former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, ex-Commissioner for Local Government Murtala Garo, and two others. The charges, unveiled today, allege that Ganduje, Garo, Lamin Sani, and Muhammad Takai were involved in a massive financial mismanagement scandal.
According to the charge sheet, the accused are implicated in a scheme involving the criminal diversion of N57.4 billion from local government allocations into personal accounts. They face accusations of criminal conspiracy, breach of trust, and making false statements. The state alleges that they transferred these funds into dollars for personal gain and acquired various high-value properties, including commercial real estate in Dubai and Abuja.

The Kano State Government plans to present 143 witnesses in this case. No court date has yet been set. This follows earlier legal actions against Ganduje and his associates, including a case filed in April against Ganduje, his wife, and six others, and additional charges with Musa Lawan in July.
