The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, his wife Hafsat, and six others are scheduled to appear before a Kano State High Court on Thursday to face charges of alleged bribery, diversion, and misappropriation of funds totaling billions of naira.
The charges were brought forward by the Kano State Government and will be presided over by Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu. The court had previously granted permission on June 5 to serve the respondents through substituted means, ensuring they were notified of the proceedings.
The respondents in the case are:
1. Abdullahi Ganduje (1st respondent)
2. Hafsat Ganduje (2nd respondent)
3. Abubakar Bawuro (3rd respondent)
4. Umar Abdullahi Umar (4th respondent)
5. Jibrilla Muhammad (5th respondent)
6. Lamash Properties Limited (6th respondent)
7. Safari Textiles Ltd (7th respondent)
8. Lesage General Enterprises (8th respondent)
During the last court session, only Lamash Properties Limited was represented by Nuraini Jimoh (SAN). The other respondents, including Ganduje, were not represented.
Justice Amina Adamu Aliyu has set the next hearing for July 11, where the court will address the charges and the representation of the respondents.
