Kano Anti-Corruption Commission Uncovers N20 Billion Land Scam, Arrests 15 Suspects

The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission (PCACC) has uncovered a massive N20 billion land scam and arrested at least 15 suspects involved in fraudulent land deals across the state.

Among those apprehended are the Registrar of the Kano State High Court, three lawyers, and four officials from the Ministry of Lands.

Key Arrests and Bribery Attempt

Addressing journalists at the commission’s headquarters on Thursday, the PCACC Chairman, Muhuyi RiminGado, confirmed the arrests, revealing that a serving High Court Registrar, a former Deputy Sheriff, and a court bailiff were among those detained.

RiminGado further disclosed that the suspects attempted to bribe security personnel with N2 million to suppress the investigation, but their offer was rejected.

Government Support for the Investigation

He commended the Chief Judge of Kano State, Justice Dije Aboki, for her support and cooperation in tackling corruption within the judicial system.

Additionally, he acknowledged Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf for his directive to ensure that all individuals involved in the scam face justice, stressing that no one would be spared regardless of their status.

The commission has vowed to continue its crackdown on corrupt practices in the state, with more arrests expected as investigations deepen.

Good

I refuse to comment.
I normally don't comment in aboki's matter, but when she is a Justice Aboki, wisdom is silence.

Jail is close for the jailer.

And Kano people are stupidly religious o.
Sharia will turn a blind eye to this one, but when it comes to women moving around without covering their face, sharia activated.

Stupidly religious folks.

20 billion that's loud. That's why you see criminal lawyers and the ones defending the criminals always rich infact richer.

Where are the POLITICIANS here?

Seems Nigerians can't live without scam and fraud.

How does one try to live a holy and righteous life in a hungry society?

Well by the Grace of God

FEAR NORTH

20 billion land fraud and you want to use 2 million naira to bribe? That's even less than 0.5% of what you are accused of.

Nigeria jaga jaga

Waoh.
Certainly crooked documents, revoking peoples allocations and reallocating to themselves and their families/friends, receiving bribes to process documents, etc.

Listen folks, anytime you require official government documents, approvals, certifications etc, please get to the office involved first. Ensure that you are in the right office and ask for the boss in the office. If he is not on seat, ask for his assistant. If you cannot find that one, please go away and return another day. If you give to a middle man, na you sabi. Politicians do not allow middle men to get affidavits for them. They know the dangers of false documents.

Awusbilahi

Out of 20 billion you're giving someone a whooping 2 million to cover up your crime? Instead of you to just give am two thousand naira out of the 20 billion so that the remaining amount can be enough for your greed.

Why not leave sharia for religious matter and focus on the fraud case at hand. Must everything about the north be reduced to religion?

Land fraud. Hmmmmn... God no go let us see am ooo.

Yes, it must.

Because they made everything about religion. Yet their religion hasn't translated to morality or superior conduct.
