The Code of Conduct Tribunal has suspended the Chairman, Kano State Anti-corruption and Public Complains Commission, Alhaji Muhuyi Magaji.

This is contained in a terse statement on Thursday in Abuja by the chief press secretary, Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), Mrs Veronica Kato.

Why was Magaji suspended?

According to Kato, Magaji was suspended over a 10-count charge of corruption filed against him by the CCB on the 16th of November, 2023.

“Delivering the ruling, the Chairman CCT, Justice Danladi Umar, established that the Tribunal has the competence and jurisdiction to hear the case.”

“He (Umar) explained that Muhuyi Magaji cannot continue to discharge the duties and responsibilities of his office while facing trial, to avoid any interference with the case.

“Hence the suspension, this is pending the conclusion of the trial,” Kato said.

The case has been adjourned to the 7th and 8th May 2024 for hearing.
