Former National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, is facing a fresh corruption case, as Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission launches an investigation into the alleged diversion of N4 billion state equity in Dala Inland Dry Port (DIDP).
However, the management of DIDP dismissed as false and malicious recent media reports linking the Ganduje family to the ownership of the company.
The N4 billion approved during the Ganduje administration as Kano governor was allegedly utilised in the award of a contract to provide infrastructure for the Inland Port project, The Guardian gathered.
The resource, which was converted to 20 per cent equity of the Kano government in the investment, was allegedly transferred to private individuals by the authority of Ganduje, thereby shortchanging the government of its nominal ownership right in the multi-million naira investment, an impeccable source revealed.
