Hoodlums stole documents on alleged corruption charges against Ganduje, family–Yusuf
Gov. Abba Yusuf of Kano State on Wednesday said miscreants have looted documents on the alleged corruption charges against his predecessor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, his family and aides.
Yusuf recalled that Ganduje has been facing alleged multiple charges before the State High Court.
This is contained in a statement issued on Wednesday in Kano by the Governor’s spokesperson, Sanusi Bature.
According to him, the governor made the disclosure when he paid an on-the- spot assessment visit to Kano State High Court that was vandalised by thugs during the recent nationwide anti-hunger protests.
Bature quoted Yusuf as lamenting,” It is unfortunate that enemies of Kano State hired undesirable elements to vandalise one of the historic public buildings.
”This was with a mission of averting corruption charges against Ganduje, his family and aides.”
The governor said the miscreants destroyed virtually all the units of the court, including the office of the State Chief Judge.
He added that about N1billion was lost through the theft of office equipment, destruction of facilities and other relevant materials crucial to the dispensation of justice.
Yusuf urged the youths in the state to desist from being used by detractors to engage in violence.
”Instead, the youths should concentrate on skills acquisition for a better future.
”The state government will not relent in securing the lives and property of the people of the state,” he said.
Yusuf said the judiciary as the last hope of the common man must be protected at all costs.
He also directed the rehabilitation of the building with immediate effect and the deployment of adequate security for effective justice delivery.
He commiserated with the state Chief Judge, Dije Aboki and the entire judiciary over the ugly incident.
Yusuf urged them to brace up to cover what was lost in the court’s proceedings for the benefit of the common man.
He commended the people of the state for their support and cooperation to the present administration in the state.
Yusuf prayed that the gesture would be sustained for the peace, stability, prosperity and economic development of the state.

Two soldiers of the 135 Special Forces Battalion are currently under investigation for alleged collaboration with ISWAP terrorists, Zagazola Makama has learnt.
Military sources told Zagazola Makama that the soldiers’ telephone communications were tracked by Security Intelligence, linking them to the recent kidnapping of commuters along the Gashua–Azare highway in Yobe State.
The intercepted calls reportedly indicated that the suspects likely leaked the movement of a patrol team along the Buratai–Kamuya–Azare–Gashua route to the insurgents, enabling the ambush.
It was gathered that the suspected leak contributed to the terrorists’ operation, which was later foiled by troops of the 135 SF Battalion during a swift rescue mission on May 9
