Why IGP withdrawn police from Kano anti-corruption

According to Daily Nigerian, IGP Egbetokun gave the withdrawal order to Usaini Gumel, the commissioner of police in Kano state on Thursday, April 25.

Daily Nigerian further reported that a source in the anti-corruption agency disclosed that the withdrawn police officers are helping in the investigation of high-profile cases of corruption and provide security to the headquarters of the commission and other seized properties.

The source lamented that the office of the commission, which is investigation the national chairman of the ruling APC is now vulnerable.

Tension in Kano over probing of Ganduje

The source’s statement partly read:

“It is ironic that the same police that withdrew security around the former governor of Kogi State Yahaya Bello, have beefed up security around Ganduje to prevent the commission from arresting him. After that, they now have the temerity to withdraw security from the anti-corruption commission.”

Ganduje recently alleged that Kano state government was behind his purported suspension from the APC but he was soon reinstated by the same court that removed him.

Since the end of his tenure as Kano governor, the new government in the northwest state has vowed to get to the root of the circulated video of Ganduje in an alleged bribery scandal.

Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the spokesperson of the police, did not respond to text message or call when contacted to hear from the police side on the allegation.
