A High Court sitting in Kano State on Tuesday issued an interim order restraining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, and others anti-graft agencies from interrogating the Chairman, Kano Public Complaints and Anti-corruption Commission, Muhuyi Rimingado.

According to the letter signed and extended to Rimin-Gado and the Account Director, the duo were supposed to appear before the EFCC and CCB Abuja office today 29th August, 2023.

However, in an order granted by Justice Farouk Lawan Adamu, on Monday evening, the court restrained the EFCC, ICPC and CCB, “either by themselves, agents, staff, privies from inviting, threatening, coaxing, cajoling, arresting, or in any way or manner interfering, meddling, or interloping in the affairs of any staff or person” in the Kano anti-graft agency, pending the hearing and determination of the originating motion.

The plaintiffs in the suit, the Attorney General of Kano State, Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, and Rimingado, are challenging the powers of the respondents from interfering in the business and operations of the state agency.All rights reserved.
