Ganduje, Wife, and Others to Face Court Over Alleged Financial Misconduct

Ganduje and wife

Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), his wife Hafsat, and six other individuals are slated to appear in court on Thursday. They face charges related to alleged bribery, fund diversion, and the misappropriation of billions of naira.

This legal action was initiated by the Kano State Government to recover the allegedly misappropriated funds.

The court had previously ordered that the seven respondents be served through substituted means, including newspaper advertisements, following extensive legal deliberations. On June 5, 2024, the Kano State High Court granted this order, which was executed the next day with advertisements in the Daily Trust and The Nation newspapers.

The respondents include Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, his wife Hafsat, Abubakar Bawuro, Umar Abdullahi Umar, Jibrilla Muhammad, Lamash Properties Limited, Safari Textiles Ltd, and Lesage General Enterprises. Justice Amina Adamu, who is presiding over the case, adjourned the matter until July 11, 2024, for a hearing.
