FORMER Kano State Governor and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) 2023 Presidential Candidate, Engr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has filed a lawsuit at the Kano State High Court, presided over by Justice Yusuf Ubale to restrain the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) from arresting him.
A reliable source told this newspaper that Kwankwaso is being investigated over alleged N2.5bn pension fraud and misappropriation of another 2.5bn campaign funds.
News Point Nigeria had reported how the former senator was grilled by EFCC interrogators last Thursday.
A source in the anti-graft agency familiar with the matter but had no authourisation to speak, said, “The commission invited Kwakwanso over the alleged N2.5bn Kano pension funds. We have grilled Kwakwanso over the matter, and he has provided some details to interrogators.”
Another source noted, “Former Kano governor, Kwakwanso has been invited by the commission. He has been grilled, and we’re continuing with our investigation.”
More details shortly…
