The Kano state house of assembly has stopped investigating allegations that Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of the state, collected bribe from contractors.

This is in line with a court order. A group known as Lawyers For Sustainable Democracy in Nigeria, had asked the court to compel the assembly to halt the probe.

Ruling on an ex parte application filed by one Muhammad Zubair, national coordinator of the group, A.T Badamasi, a judge, had asked the lawmakers to suspend the probe.

But the assembly vowed not to comply with the order.

Baffa Dan-Agundi, chairman of the committee investigating the issue, had said the court order did not stop the panel from continuing with the investigation.

“We have received a court order that we should stop investigating the video clips showing Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, allegedly collecting bribe,” he said.

“We had a meeting today at the assembly and according to our understanding; the court didn’t stop us from investigating the allegations; the court only said status quo be maintained. As such, we will continue with our work.”

But making a U-turn on Monday, Dan-Agundi told the court that the assembly is a law-abiding arm of government, hence, it would obey the court and suspend all forms of investigation on the case pending the court judgement.

While adjourning the hearing on the matter to Wednesday, Badamasi urged the committee to desist from inviting, questioning, interviewing, examining any person related to the issue.

He also instructed the investigative committee to stop any form of analysis on the bribery videos.

The committee had invited Ganduje, who failed to appear but sent one of his commissioners and Jafar Jafar, publisher of Daily Nigerian, the online platform which leaked the videos.

One of the contractors who levelled allegations against the governor had also agreed to testify at the assembly

This is clearly a Kannywood script. Gandollar, Kano State Judiciary and the Assembly members have all played their roles well. Thank you Buhari and Magu for the Anti Corruption fight.

Nigeria

I don't think anyone expected much from the KSHA.....

One way or the other they are appendages of the Executive arm,headed by the state Governor...
No State House of Assembly will do anything unless goaded by the FG like Nyako,DSP....
But what amazes me is that the EFCC has refused to investigate the matter for reasons known to Magu.......whilst that of Fayose was pursued assiduously as required......
There is a precedence,Posterity will never forget....
Shalom!

Bows to which pressure? Sane Nigerians already anticipated the outcome of Gandollar investigation. Ganduje is a saint covered by the blood of this rudderless regime.

Smh it's finished. I need get out of this shit hole

The judiciary that stand as the hope of common man have been compromised already. too bad.

All na scam.
No strong institution in this country. We still have a long way to go.probably the next generation will get it right

When I start encouraging PEOPLE to leave that DUNGEON called a country, people go say I dey on drugs...

It's better to be INSANE and RESIDE overseas.
Than to have sanity and reside with MAD PEOPLE....

.......Quote Me ....Evil forest...

Wow what a shame

We are aware Buhari knows about Gandollar the Bullion van since he mentioned it at the Peace forum

We also know that during election same clueless Buhari will run around Kano with Gandollar for campaign so i wonder how bmcs and sai Buhari chanters will defend his intergrity and corruption fight.

smh
knew las las that is wat will happn

Now yall see reason why we need another party to win over apc so as to expose all these kleptos in apc

much for fighting corruption

check below

The National Assembly must commended for adhering to the court order and upholding rule of law; without them, this country would have been lawless.

Sadly, they are equally synonymous to cowardice and are made up of stomach serving delinquents.

With that said, Ganduje is just delaying the inevitable.

Why won't the court stop them? Where will APC get 5m votes from if Ganduje is outsted? Buhari for life president of Daura prison inmates in Kuje

APC kano house of Assembly members fighting corruption with d lifeless cow

Gandollar! Buhacow! Corruption kill you there!

I expected this.
Buhari is desperate and would do anything to retain power.

They summoned a court injunction against themselves to have a reason for stopping the fake probe against GANDUJE GANDOLLAR
