BEVERLY HILLS, May 28, (THEWILL) – A magistrate’s court in Kano state has ordered the arrest of Munir Bayero, Chief of Staff to Muhammadu Sanusi, Emir of Kano.
The court also gave an order for the arrest of Mujitaba Abba and Sani Kwaru who are also aides of the monarch.
Muhammad Idris, the magistrate, gave the order based on a request by the Kano State Public Complaints And Anti- Corruption Commission which is also probing the alleged misappropriation of funds belonging to the Kano emirate council.
On Tuesday, Muhuyi Gado, chairman of the anti-graft agency, wrote a letter to Ahmed Iliyasu, Commissioner of Police in Kano, to request reinforcement of security personnel ahead of the arrest in fulfilment of the court order.
In the letter, the commission said with the powers vested on it under the provision of section 38 of its establishment act, it is empowered to investigate the “misappropriation”.
