A Kano State High Court on Tuesday dismissed a motion filed by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, challenging the court’s jurisdiction to hear an 11-count corruption charge brought against him and seven others.
Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu, who presided over the matter, ruled that the preliminary objections raised by Ganduje, who is a former governor of Kano, and his co-defendants were “incompetent” and lacked merit.
She affirmed the court’s jurisdiction to hear the charges, which include allegations of bribery, conspiracy, misappropriation, and diversion of public funds amounting to billions of naira.
