The wife of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, Hafsat Ganduje, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC over a bribery and land fraud.
According to report, the arrest comes weeks after her failure to honour the anti-graft agency’s invitation.
Ganduje and wife
Mrs Ganduje had earlier been invited to report to the EFCC’s Abuja headquarters on September 13. But she did not appear 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 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 asked not to be identified, said “she was arrested this (Monday) evening.”
Mrs Ganduje was still at EFCC headquarters as of 6a.m. on Tuesday.
