 EFCC Arrests Kano Gov’s Wife Over Alleged Fraud

The wife of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, Hafsat Ganduje, has been reportedly arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over allegations of bribery and land fraud.

According to Igbere TV,the arrest was made on Monday, weeks after her failure to honour the anti-graft agency’s invitation.

Mrs Ganduje was said to have been invited earlier to report to the EFCC’s Abuja Headquarter on September 13 but she did not comply and the EFCC then threatened to arrest her.

Sources close to her later said she travelled to the UK at the time to attend the graduation ceremony of her son.

Investigators are said to be questioning Mrs Ganduje over allegations relating to land fraud in a petition by her own son, Abdualzeez Ganduje.

A person, who has the knowledge of the arrest but pleaded anonymity said “she was arrested this (Monday) evening.”

Mrs Ganduje was said to be at EFCC headquarters as of 6a.m. on Tuesday.
