Barrister Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado, a former Kano State public complaints and anti-corruption agency chairman, alleges that former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso diverted large sums from the Kano State treasury into a personal account. In a video widely shared on social media, Muhyi details what he says are payments made to Kwankwaso in late 2023 and 2024 and says the funds were used for personal projects and expenses.
Among the specific figures cited are ₦1.05 billion allegedly received in December 2023 for the construction of a personal house, ₦525 million for construction of an office, and ₦1.2404 billion for the purchase of two vehicles. The allegations also include payments in June 2024, including ₦100.08 million for medical expenses and ₦510.213 million described as a vacation.
Muhyi challenges Kwankwaso to sue him if the claims are false. The reports also note the allegations have not been independently verified or tested in court. No official response from Kwankwaso or his representatives is reported in the sources.
