The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission has arrested Alhaji Abdullahi Mohammed, Chairman of Kiru Local Government Area, for allegedly selling land worth over N100 million meant for the Kafin Maiyaki Mini Stadium.
The Public Relations Officer of the Commission, Kabir Kabir, confirmed the suspect’s arrest to NAN on Friday in Kano.
He said the commission had discovered that the amount was paid into Mohammed’s personal account.
Kabir stated that, according to the investigation, a company called Mahasum had purchased the plots of land allocated for the mini stadium.
According to him, Mohammed’s account received N240 million from 1 November 2024, when he was sworn in, to 27 February, which has since been recovered.
He added that Mohammed is cooperating with the investigation, which aims to uncover the truth behind the fraudulent sale of land and bring those responsible to justice.
“The commission is working to root out corruption and ensure accountability, with the suspect currently in custody and the investigation ongoing,” he said.
