How Kwankwaso channelled state funds into private account to build personal house, others – Muhyi

Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado, who was once the boss of the Kano State anti-corruption agency, has made a list of billions of naira which were allegedly stolen by Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the former governor of the state.

Barrister Muhyi has been spotted in a video clip uploaded on social media in which he talked about how the former governor stole the money and deposited it into his personal bank account without following any process.

Muhyi has confirmed that it is indeed he who uploaded the video clip.

He said, “Kwankwaso, in December 2023, collected N1 billion to build his house.”

He, however, failed to clarify whether the house in question is the one Kwankwaso currently occupies.

He went further to allege that the same Kwankwaso collected N525 million for the construction of his office in the same month and also allegedly took N1.240 billion and another N400,000 to buy official cars.

“In June 2024, Kwankwaso collected N100,800,000 for his medications and also collected N510,213,000 for his holidays,” he added.

The former anti-graft boss, who looked disturbed while explaining how Kwankwaso allegedly siphoned Kano’s treasury for his personal gain, added that there is more for him to open up against the former governor.

He concluded by challenging Kwankwaso to seek legal redress against him to justify his innocence.

“I challenge you to take me to court if what I said you have siphoned from Kano’s treasury is not true.”

When this newspapper contacted the spokesperson of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Dr. Habibu Muhammad Sale Mailemo, he confirmed knowledge of the matter, stating that they are studying the allegations by the former anti-corruption chairman.

“We are studying the allegations, and we will respond appropriately, and it may include taking legal action against Barrister Muhyi,” he said.
