Members of the Kano State House of Assembly are at daggers drawn with the speaker, Kabiru Rurum, over N100million bribe allegedly offered to them by billionaire business man and chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote.

DAILY NIGERIAN reliably gathered that Mr Dangote offered the legislators the money in order to shelve probe of the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.

The emir, who was initially investigated by the Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission for alleged misappropriation of Emirate Council funds to the tune of over N4billion, is a close friend to Mr Dangote.

On May 10, the Assembly took over the commission’s probe and set up a 7-man committee to investigate the monarch.

But on May 22, the Assembly called off the probe, following a letter by the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, pleading for discontinuation of the investigation.

The governor had cited the acting president, Yemi Osinbajo and Mr Dangote among the notable Nigerians who pleaded on behalf of the emir.

Some of the aggrieved members of the Assembly who spoke to DAILY NIGERIAN on the condition of anonymity said the billionaire mogul had offered the money to the Speaker to share among members but the speaker cornered the money alone.

“Immediately after we announced the setting up of a committee to investigate the emir, Dangote offered the money through the speaker.

“But Speaker collected the money and kept mum without even informing the principal officers. We thought he had not collected the offer but the bubble bursts recently,” said one of the aggrieved members.

According to him, the speaker had also collected money from other “interested parties” who wanted the emir deposed.

He said the principal officers of House had set up an internal committee among themselves to investigate the speaker.

Contacted, spokesman for Dangote Group, Tony Chiejina, declined comment on the matter, saying “I am at event now and I can’t talk.”

Sources at the state anti-corruption commission said the agency had discreetly continued with its investigations after the assembly announced suspension of its probe.

“So far we have almost concluded our investigations and we will present our report to the governor soon,” said a source who preferred not to be named.

A thief was seriously wounded after making an attempt to steal a laptop from Danfodio Hostel in Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, Kaduna state capital. The young man was beaten to pulp by students and left bloodied after being caught in the act.

He was finally rescued from the angry mob due to the much beating he received as some students tried to stop the bleeding . The incident occurred last Thursday night.

you didnt read the post: asking for a country called Biafra is not demanding to quit from where they presently live. Britain didnt ask Nigerians and other Africans to leave their country because they asked for independence

Freedom of speech that other people can't exercise except the born-to-rule brutes? Why will this fool of a prof.not talk rubbish when he knows that his fulani brother is the president, most of the service chiefs & heads of paramilitary agencies are his fellow abokis? He & his likes hid under the northern youth to issue inflammatory statements cause they know the powers that be are of their own geographical divide.

Only Allaah is extremely generous, if you had used it in Arabic I wouldn't have thought twice before saying you can't use it as it applies to only Allaah, but when you said its in.English had to research a bit and then it became apparent that you can't use it in English too since they carry the same meaning....

AbdelKabir:
You can't use it....

If you see how this plant is revered in the North then you will imagine why they will not just invest in it the way the East plant palm trees and the west plant cocoa. Must we depend on a very 'tiny' Saudi Arabia for our dates supply?

Don't bother to fast today because it's a waste with the level of bile in your heart. No gods or God will answer the words of a vile heart
