Ganduje has asked court to perpetually restrain EFCC from inviting or investigating him over dollar videos

The immediate past governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has asked a high court in the state to perpetually restrain the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, from inviting or investigating him over dollar videos.

The video clips, published by Daily Nigerian in 2018, had showed how the former governor was receiving bundles of dollar notes suspected to be a bribe from a contractor.

While the governor had since debunked the content of the videos, the state House of Assembly subsequently set up a committee to investigate the allegations.

The committee was yet to turn in its report even as a new assembly was inaugurated on Tuesday. But in a suit yesterday, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, through the former attorney general of Kano state, asked the court to restrain the anti-graft agency from investigating him until a suit between himself and Jafaar Jafaar, publisher of the Daily Nigerian, is determined.
