Bribery: Ganduje, wife, six others to appear in court Thursday

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, his wife Hafsat, and six others are set to appear before a Kano State High Court on Thursday.

They face charges related to alleged bribery, diversion, and misappropriation of funds amounting to billions of naira.

The Kano State Government initiated the suit before Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu.

The court had earlier granted permission on June 5 to serve the respondents through substituted means.

The respondents in the case include, Abdullahi Ganduje (1st respondent), his wife Hafsat (2nd respondent), Abubakar Bawuro (3rd respondent), Umar Abdullahi Umar (4th respondent), Jibrilla Muhammad (5th respondent), Lamash Properties Limited (6th respondent), Safari Textiles Ltd (7th respondent), and Lesage General Enterprises (8th respondent).

At the previous court session, only Nuraini Jimoh (SAN) represented the sixth respondent, Lamash Properties Limited. The other respondents, including Ganduje, were not represented.

Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu has scheduled the hearing for July 11.
